Family Plan

I want to continue sharing iCloud storage and apple music with our family plan, but don't want any other individual purchases to go on my account from the "kids." Can this be done - where they can use their own credit cards with their apple id?

Family purchases and payments - https://support.apple.com/HT201079 - "When you set up purchase sharing, one adult in the family—the family organizer—agrees to pay for any purchases that family members make while they're part of the family group.

So only one person can pay with a credit card and has to promise to cover purchases made by others. If others have a balance in their account from gifts or gift cards that will be charged first, otherwise it will be taken from the single credit card for the family.
