Child ID I cannot create an apple ID for my child. I keep getting the error message "Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store." I get the paypal code and enter it and get the error. I have tried via home network and 4G, and don't have my VPN enabled.

Error when trying to create child iOS account I gave an error when trying to create a child account. I have tried on both wifi and cellular and it doesn’t change. First it asks me to verify my PayPal which then says an error occurred. If I try a different payment method I get the same error. I have tried this both on my iPad and my iPhone to no avail - I have seen a few posts here and it’s always marked as resolved when it isn’t… I have followed the apple guide for this: Create an Apple ID for your child – Apple Support (UK) I do not get to step 5! It will not allow me to verify I am a parental figure as I cannot get past this stupid payment part. my iPad is on iOS15 and my iPhone iOS16 - please can someone help?!

Creating child account When trying to create a child’s account, I click ‘Verify You’re an Adult’ and it takes me to the Parental Consent screen where it asks me to enter the verification code that was texted to me in order to use PayPal. After entering the code, I either get an error saying ‘There was an error, please try later’ or it says ‘Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable…’ I’ve been trying for a few days and I keep getting the same errors. I’ve tried creating the account on the old iPhone that my son will be using and also from my current iPhone by going under settings then family. I’ve tried over Wi-Fi and I’ve also turned the Wi-Fi off and tried over data. Any suggestions?
