Can't verify payment method of family sharing.

I am trying to initiate a purchase on my device and I am not the organizer of my family and we have purchase sharing enabled. My family organizer is also unable to verify any payment methods when he logs in. On this screen below, I am unable to click into any of the options present. What do I do??

Family member can't verify payment methods I use Purchase Sharing with my partner (I'm the organiser). Today my partner wanted to make an app subscription purchase on her iPhone, but the device brought up the verify screen saying "to continue on this device verify at least one payment method family sharing". She selected the card she wanted to verify (my card but she has access to it), then she put in the CVV. But the "Done" button on the top-right corner was greyed out and nothing can be done to take her to another step. This happens to every card. I have done the followings with no luck, Removed all payment methods on my account, then readd just one card Did 1. again with other cards Disabled Purchase Sharing then Reenabled Any way I can workaround this? Thanks

Family Sharing and Apple ID Balance I am a part of a Family Sharing group, of which I am not the family organizer. This means that the purchase method used by the entire family is not my own. I don't want to use this purchase method, I would like to use my Apple ID Balance, but whenever I try to, I get a message saying that I have to confirm a payment method. It then brings me to a screen of the shared purchase method, and if I click the back arrow I can see my Apple ID Balance, but whenever I click my Apple ID Balance and try to use it I get the error of "An unknown error has occurred". From what I have read from Apple Support and other people's questions, I have gotten the impression that once I confirm the family purchase method, I will be allowed to purchase something using my Apple ID Balance. Is this the case? Assuming it is, is there any way to prevent the rest of my family from seeing the purchases I make, whether they be In-App Purchases, Apps, etc?

Payment Verification in Family Sharing - Can’t click ‘Done’ My family is set up with family sharing. I am the main. My account has a credit card verified and tied to it. On my wife’s phone, I cannot buy anything. If I go into Payments and Shipping on her Apple ID, it shows my card and says it needs to be verified. When I try to go in, it asks me for the CVV number. I enter it and click Done on the keyboard. I then go to click Done on the screen and it is greyed out. I have tried removing my card, adding again. Adding a second card. All of the time it will not allow me to click Done to verify my card on my wife’s phone.
