## Scheduling for Parent/Child Profiles through OCS

Children will be able to schedule their appointments from the parent's account; they do not have their own separate login to schedule online. When a parent logs into their OCS profile, they will be able to choose who to schedule for.

A parent can also create a profile for their children online. Simply log into an OCS account and go to **My Profile**. At the bottom, choose **Add Child**. Once their information is entered and saved, they will automatically be added and synced in the Salon side as well.

## Child Accounts Using Parent Cards

Child accounts have the ability to use their parent's credit card if there is one saved to the parent’s profile. They also have the option to use a separate card if one is saved to the child’s profile.

To choose whether or not a child is able to use their parent’s card, navigate to the child’s profile. On the left-hand side, there is a section labeled Credit Card, and in a child’s account, there will be a drop-down where they can choose yes/no to allow the child to use the parent's card.
