I can’t use my Apple ID balance

Every time I try to make a purchase, I have to verify credit card information. I want to use my Apple ID balance, $50. Is this because i’m in a family sharing group? What can i do to fix this

See what Eric said above. And note that before you can add funds to your Apple ID, you must have a valid payment method on file. Learn about the payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID. See how to Add funds to your Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208687  Note that "after you authorize the payment, the funds ... [are credited] to your Apple ID. Then, you can use the credit to make purchases from the App Store or iTunes store. Need more help? Contact Apple support for help here: Get started
