I posted this a second time, because I edited my original mail. Forgive me if you get two notifications for this in your electronic mail but only see one respond here
@owls4ever I've merely ever added funds to eshop from the purchase button on the game's eshop page on the Switch.
EDIT: did yous get an email confirmation from Nintendo for the ten pounds you added? If you didn't get an email confirmation, the transaction was probably not completed. I'll admit, sometimes I think I'm done with an eshop transaction, but another confirmation push button still needs to be pressed to complete the procedure.
If you lot need more assistance beyond that, I would recommend giving Nintendo a call. Nintendo's back up line may however be operational. Under normal conditions, it's been like shooting fish in a barrel to get a person on the phone there. They tin see if you successfully added the 10 pounds, and what happened to it, if information technology was spent. If something needs tweaking regarding how the money was added, Nintendo has the ability to practice things with your business relationship, if needed. Their help line is cracking. And your situation, putting money on your kid's Switch is exactly the kind of affair they are geared toward solving

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Yeah the £x is in there and got notification email from Nintendo. If my son logs into the Nintendo eshop through this kid profile, no funds are showing. If I log in though my contour the £10 is in in that location. If I load fortnite up through my profile I'chiliad able to buy the 5-bucks using that £ten. All the same if he loads the game upward under his contour with his fortnite username he'south not able to buy them equally the £ten isn't in that location. It'due south bizarre as this is all on the same switch. Looking dorsum I should have just bought them directly trough the game but I'm new to all this. Can't seem to discover anywhere where information technology will let me transfer it to his child account.

@owls4ever Nintendo has some ability to manage your account, but I don't know what their limits are.
If you share a Switch with your son, I recall that adding the money while in HIS game may be the only way to do information technology. Your eshop business relationship is tied to your user contour on your Switch. Making other user profile icons on your Switch home screen but lets kids access the games you lot bought (while having their own salve file). The eshop is very simplistic, and I'm fairly sure information technology doesn't have a way to transfer coin. So I don't recall there is a function you lot've missed. If you feel uncertain about this, or take two consoles, I say take 5 minutes to call Nintendo, they could give you the official answer. I could be my answer, if yous & your son share a console.

eShop is connected to the NIN account. If yous don't have a NIN account registered with your son on NIN the eShop volition not work. Each users must take a NIN business relationship registered to themselves to use eShop for ownership.

@owls4ever did you get anywhere with your query? Several months afterwards i notice myself in exactly the same state of affairs every bit you. I take added £ten to my parent business relationship but tin't figure out a fashion to get it to my son's. Incidentally, I followed a QR code that Nintendo sent me in the eShop whilst logged in as my son, and so I am in this predicament because of their direction! They blocked the purchase from my card (presumably thinking information technology was him) and made me sign in equally me to complete the purchase. Why and so, are the funds non transferable? So frustrating...

@CluelessParent It's a shame owls4ever didn't share the outcome. You can also ask Nintendo support. They are polite, and can help if someone here doesn't know. I'd suggest yous search eshop purchases on Nintendo support'south site, since they have adept directions for things, but I'thou non sure they address the scenario you're asking well-nigh.

@CluelessParent Also, I'chiliad not sure when the last time was that you bought something digitally on the Switch, but last leap, Nintendo had to practise a security upgrade. Later on the upgrade you lot couldn't brand a digital purchase until after you re-entered your credit into in your nintendo account on nintendo's website. This may not be the consequence you're running into, but but in case, I idea I'd mention it. If y'all;ve made digital purchases on the Switch since April or May, you can disregard this

@WoomyNNYes give thanks yous then much for your reply. This is the commencement time I have e'er used a forum for help. My son received the Switch equally a Christmas nowadays and today was the showtime time I attempted to make en eShop purchase, having prepare up the parent and child account. I accept searched the eShop support site, but you are right - at that place is nothing which addresses my particular issue. I accept now emailed Nintendo client services and look a reply. I have found threads on their site which say purchases are not-transferrable. Understandable, but not when the eShop has directed the payment to the parent account. Thanks again.
@nerdface I am in this predicament purely considering I have been responsible enough to set parental controls on my son'southward device. As for 'predatory online gambling'... the funds were to purchase a kid's game well inside his age-range. The irony that asking for assistance on a forum can lead to instant vitriol. What a shame.

@CluelessParent This is the first, and only forum I've always joined. In general it's a nice identify. It'south pretty well moderated. (that'southward why Eel stepped in 😉). If someone is disrespectful to you, click the study button to the correct of the user's proper name to report them, and a moderator will step in or ban them, depending on the situation. Reporting is bearding, and helps continue this identify nice. There is also an ignore button next to the user's proper noun at the top of their post. If you striking ignore, you will never come across that user or their comments again when you're logged in (unless y'all undo the ignore in your settings).
If yous ever come up back to ask something else, usually I or a few other nice people reply. And then, you might see me again

@WoomyNNYes cheers then much for all your helpful tips and kind response. If I become a resolution from Nintendo, I will be sure to mail it on here! (Clueless in so much every bit I am hopeless with technology, merely non clueless with regard to what it and isn't advisable for my child ...)

@CluelessParent hello. Unfortunately there was nothing they could do and was left with £10 on my business relationship and had to put an extra £ten on his.

@owls4ever thank you for letting me know, I appreciate it. I've nonetheless to hear back from Nintendo merely I guess information technology'll be the same response. My gripe volition be, that I was forwarded to my parent business relationship by them, from the child account, just I've since seen that you can add funds directly to his account. Merely frustrating they didn't direct me to that instead initially. Never mind - non sure I'll ever use that wasted £10 credit though!

@CluelessParent If there is whatsoever logic to it, I think Nintendo doesn't permit fund transfers between accounts for security reasons, to prevent hacking, to avert any features that could be exploited and used to access money on other people's accounts (stealing, money laundering).

@CluelessParent
I thought that any the child account tin play, the parent account can play too, even if information technology was bought using the child business relationship. If that is the case, y'all could simply have bought whatever game he/she wants from your business relationship and made information technology bachelor for him/her

@Ninchiku You're talking nigh multiple users playing a game on a Switch panel, a different issue. CluelessParent'south issue was but about making an in-game buy for her son'due south Fortnite game. Playing the games is one matter, but money & making in-game purchases has a much more strict fix of rules. You are correct though, all users on the Switch console tin use virtually (if not all) games on the panel regardless of of which user/business relationship bought information technology.
