How do you use an Apple Account/ID balance for an Apple Store app purchase?

I can’t for the life of me find out how to use my Apple Account/ID balance for a purchase in the Apple Store app. Can anyone show me how to do it? Preferably with pictures of where that option is in the app.

...which just confuses me. Unless I’m wrong, Apple ID balance is the same as Apple Account balance right? It says Apple Account in iOS and iPadOS for me.
