I redeemed my gift cards and it added the funds to my “Apple Account” but it won’t let me order anything on the Apple Store app. All I can use my account balance for is subscriptions like iTunes. Is there anyway I can use this money for like AirPods?

This answer is not at all helpful. How do you use the balance you have to make a purchase?
