Family sharing

Hi


I had a apple music account, 

I decided to change my individual (1 year) subscription to family sharing. When i tried to add family member, it asked me to  add a payment method to my apple id.

I always charge my account with gift cards and my payment method is Non.

Also i have no choice to take a debit card.

Can you help me How can i use family sharing for my apple music ?!


Thanks

Being a Family Sharing organizer requires a different payment method than Apple ID account balance. Debit cards or credit cards may be options in your country or region.

Possibly someone else in your group has a card and can take on that role?
