Payment method is fully automatic:
How App Store and iTunes Store purchases are billed - https://support.apple.com/HT201359
"Which payment method is charged?
When you buy items or pay for subscriptions, Apple attempts to charge your payment methods in this order:
1. Apple attempts to use your Apple ID balance to cover the full amount.
2. If you don't have Apple ID balance or you don't have enough to cover the full amount, Apple attempts to charge your primary payment method. The primary payment method is at the top of the list in Settings on your iPhone. You can control which payment method is at the top of the list.
3. If there's a problem with the primary payment method, or if the primary payment method can't be charged for the full remaining amount, Apple attempts to charge your other payment methods in order from top to bottom. If none of them can be charged, Apple may try again.
Some purchases aren’t charged to your Apple ID balance
- If you're in a Family Sharing group, purchases are charged to your personal Apple ID balance. If you don't have enough Apple ID balance to pay for the purchase, the remainder is charged to the family organizer's primary payment method.
- You can’t charge gifts to your Apple ID balance. If you send a gift or gift card, your primary payment method is charged.
- Some subscriptions might not be charged to your Apple ID balance.

Hi Applebob,
I assumed since you said, "unable to make a purchase with the credit on my iTunes account balance" you were not referring to a credit card being declined, you were asking about using Apple ID balance for payment.
Hello,
please reference If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store!
