How do I block a merchant?

Kit automatically blocks some merchant categories, such as those associated with alcohol, gambling, and tobacco.

You can block other merchants after your child has made a purchase there. For chain stores, Kit will only block the individual store linked to the transaction.

  1. Open the Kit app.
  2. Go to your kid’s profile.
  3. Tap on the ‘Spend’ tab.
  4. Tap on the transaction to open the transaction screen.
  5. Tap ‘Block merchant’ and follow the prompts.

To unblock a merchant, you can unblock from the transaction screen or from Settings:

  1. Open the Kit app.
  2. Enter the Boss profile.
  3. Tap on the menu icon.
  4. Go to ‘(Child’s) settings’.
  5. Tap on ‘Blocked merchants’.
  6. Tap the icon next to the merchant to unblock them.
