Error Message Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store.

I cannot setup a Child ID as I keep getting message 'Error Message Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store.' when trying to type in code sent to my phone. I am doing this on my iMac (Monterey) and have also attampted to do this via iPhone. I have read lots of blogs where this issue is common, but have not seen any fix? Can someone please help?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.6

Hi there stevostheaus,


We see you've been running into an error about credit card processing when creating an Apple ID, and you're getting the same results on multiple devices. Testing both an iPhone and Mac was a great idea, and since this is happening on multiple devices, we recommend using this link to contact us directly to look further into the issue: Apple Support


Take care.
