    Hi Chelle7219,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that you would like to know how to address an Ask to Buy request after the initial notification has gone. You can do this by accessing Notifications on either your Mac or iOS Device. 

     

    Make or decline a purchase

    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.

     

    Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support

     

    Best!

    I Have exactly the same problem. I checked Notifications Center and nothing's there. What should I add to Notifications Center to see "Ask to buy" requests?
