In App purchases with apple giftcard

How can I use my apple giftcard to make in app purchases? It doesn't work and says that I need to update my billing but I've already added the giftcard to my account.

iPhone 6s, iOS 15

When redeeming a gift card, (1) the amount will be credited to your Apple ID balance and (2) then you need to set your Apple ID balance as your default payment.
