What is a Family Account?
If you have families or couples at your studio, there may be one member of the family who buys memberships and makes bookings on behalf of the other members in their family. This makes it easier for parents/guardians to manage their children's accounts. Including paying for classes, booking in sessions, etc.
With Family accounts, the 'child account' will not be able to log in themselves, but the guardian can purchase memberships and book on behalf of the child.
Please note;
- You can enable this feature by contacting us at onboarding@glofox.com. Please include the minimum age the member needs to be to create the account with the studio in your request.
Setting the minimum age required for child accounts
- From your dashboard, click on the settings icon in the bottom left corner
- Then go to the 'Clients' tab
- Under 'Access Restrictions', you will see 'The minimum age to create an account is _'
