    These are security precautions to certify that you are truly the account holder.

     

    If you don't want a credit card on file, then choose the None option. If you don't see a None option, follow these instructions;

    I needed to check the price of the software that you want. $200 doesn't cover the cost of Logic Pro X. The US store's prices do not show the local sales taxes that the MAS will have to add to your purchase in the final steps of the sale. That is why you are being asked for an additional payment method. If you are not going to supply a credit card, then you will need to add another iTunes Gift Card to cover the cost of whatever the sales taxes are on $199.99 there where you live.

    I don't know about Canada. Most countries with a uniform VAT have the taxes figured in the prices.
