Register a programme for municipality grants (frístundastyrkur)

For parents in Iceland to be able to use their child's leisure grant (frístundastyrkur) on a programme, the programme must be registered in the municipality's payment system. You do this in the programme's advanced settings.

1. Open the programme's advanced settings

1. Go to Home → Programmes, click the three dots (⋮) on the programme and choose Edit. You can also do this when you create a new programme.

2. Click Advanced settings at the bottom.

2. Turn on Municipality

1. Find Municipality ("Register this program in the destination account’s municipality payment systems").

2. Turn the switch on.

3. Click Save Changes.

The programme is registered with the municipality that the programme's bank account (destination account) belongs to. Parents can then choose to use the grant when they register in the shop.
