Reward options and requests

When a child requests a reward, the points are held right away so they can't be spent twice. Approve or reject the request. Rejecting it releases the points.

Some rewards have a second step. Approving means yes. Marking it paid or fulfilled means it has actually happened. Don't mark a payout paid until the money has moved.

Custom rewards are ones you make up, like a movie night, picking dinner, or a later bedtime on Friday. Add them in Settings → Rewards with a name, a point cost, and an icon.

Start with three or four you'll really deliver. Price them so a focused kid can reach them in a few weeks. A reward nobody can afford doesn't motivate anyone.

Manual payouts are for families who pay in cash or by bank transfer. Approve the request, pay outside Choreze, then tap Mark paid.

Automatic payouts send the money for you. Add funds once and set up payouts for each child. Approved requests are paid from that balance. You can auto-approve requests inside a dollar range you choose.

Gift cards are off until you turn on specific ones in Settings → Rewards. Kids only see the cards you've picked.

Screen time trades points for minutes on a child's device, at a rate you set. The child's device has to be set up first.

A short list of rewards works better than a long one. If rewards start causing arguments, remove options until they stop.
