    If you have 'ask to buy' enabled for the family member then to approve the purchase (you won't be able to do so on Mavericks) : Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support

     

    If you're the organizer, you can use these steps to make or decline the purchase from your iOS device with iOS 8 or Mac with OS X Yosemite:

    1. Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. (See your notifications on your Mac or iOS device.)
    2. Approve or decline the purchase.
    3. If you approve, you need to sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase.
