Can I Restrict Credit Card Purchases on My Child’s Nintendo Account?

Depending on the type of software, purchases can be restricted through the Nintendo Account and/or Nintendo Network ID (NNID) that is linked to the child's account.

Nintendo Switch 2/Nintendo Switch/Nintendo Store Purchases

You can set up Parental controls for off-device and Nintendo eShop purchases (for both child and supervised accounts) through the parent/guardian's Nintendo Account.

If you wish to restrict in-app purchases on a smart device, you will need to check the settings for the smart device you own. Please check the support site for your device for information.
