Family sharing and kids ids

Is it possible to set up family sharing and kids Apple IDs without putting in a credit card? I like to pay via iTunes cards so my kids can’t run up a crazy bill.... help!

No, children under 13 can only have IDs if they are part of Family Sharing and FS requires a credit card (or similar) to set up.


You can set up Ask To Buy on the childrens' accounts.

Family Organizer receives requests by default, but another parent or guardian can be assigned permission.
