Can't update iMovie - not accepting Apple ID

I recently updated to macOS Big Sur and now I need to update iMovie. I went to update, however when I enter my login details using my Apple ID it says that I haven't used the iTunes store before.

I found a tip online that said I should update my billing details. I did this, but it still won't allow me to login and update iMovie.

Can you please assist? I see in other threads that it's recommended to delete the app and reinstall, but if I do this I will lose one of the projects I have in there that I wanted to edit. Thanks

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

Log into your account in the App Store/iTunes and you should be able to change/verify it there.

Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store. Please review your account information -

Hi Eric, thanks for that - I've done that but I still get this error message that then pops up when I try to go into the App Store.
