I cannot pay for things with my itunes gift card

Whenever I try the make a purchase it says verification required and when i press continue it doesn’t let me select apple id as a payment option, i have enough money on my apple id to make the payment and i don’t have a credit card or any payment options connected apart from my apple id, when I tap on apple id it just takes me to a bit where i can add more and redeem it doesn’t let me make the purchase through it, this isn’t a glitch where I don’t have enough or anything.

The resolution to this issue is often making sure you have entered a credit card or other valid method of payment* even if you don't plan on needing to use it.

If there is an option to select "Review" or "Continue", select that and enter valid payment information if required (you may need to enter your Apple ID password first). If there's problems doing this:

Tap: Settings > [your name at the top] > Media & Purchases > View Account > Review Apple ID.
