Purchase Sharing

Hi This is Dr. Kukreja from India, I have an iPad Pro 2021, I have purchased Procreate, I am trying to activate Family sharing, but as soon as I reach purchase sharing, it is asking me to add a payment method to the apple ID though two net banking and one UPI ID are already added, also credit card is disabled for our region, How do I activate Family Sharing.

Thanks

Family Sharing I'm facing issue while downloading family shared apps. I'm getting error "to download shared content, your family must have a valid payment method." Currently app store india only supports upi and netbanking to add funds to apple ID. There is no option to add Credit card or any other payment method.

Family sharing asking for payment method when payment already present Hi, Am trying to setup family sharing. Am the organiser. I have added payment methods on my account. Now, when i go to enable purchase sharing. It asks to add a Payment method. Am confused. I already have all the payment methods supported in my country and even have significant balance on my apple account. The same payment method is already used by iCloud subscription. I have also cross checked whether am using the same account. What am i missing ?

Thanks for the detailed response, but I have already purchased Procreate, I do not want to add funds

I want to activate Purchase Sharing which is asking me to add a payment method

Apple has disabled Cards as a payment method in Asia, we have Netbanking and UPI for adding funds only

How do I activate purchase sharing without adding a payment method
