The payment method for Family Sharing is automatic:


1. If anybody in the family buys or subscribes to something, Apple first attempts to charge the item to that person's Apple ID balance, if any.

2. If a family member does not have enough personal balance, any excess will be charged to the Family Organizer's primary payment method (usually a card of some kind). The Organizer's personal balance will not be used for purchases made by other family members. I assume if it cannot bill the primary payment method then it will just work its way down the Organizer's list of payment methods until it finds one it can.


- "Some purchases, including gifts, can't be billed to Apple ID balance and will be charged to the family organizer's payment method." "Some subscriptions might not be charged to Apple ID balance."

You cannot transfer balance between Apple ID accounts or have it refunded. The only way to use it is for the owner of the account to spend it.
