Apple ID balance for in app purchase with Family Sharing?

We have a $53 balance on our Apple ID, how can we use that for our kids' in app purchase with Family Sharing? If they requests it comes off our Credit Card, and not our balance. How can we use that balance for their Fortnite purchases? They have their own apple IDs for family sharing.
