Different payment from the family account

Im part of a family account and the payment is controlled by my wife, however, I want to purchase things 3 from the app store on my business card (also set up on my profile) but can't find how to change the payment type when I come to purchase.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

judging by information here, you cannot change payment method while you're family member:


Manage payment methods that family members use

When you set up Family Sharing and turn on purchase sharing, one adult in the family—the family organizer—controls a single shared payment method for everyone in the family group. Learn more about family purchases and payments.

If you're the family organizer, you can add multiple payment methods to your own Apple ID, but your family members can use only the first payment method in the list. If a family member can't make a purchase, the family organizer can move a different payment method to the top of the list.
