I am on family sharing but don’t want to use the main charge card. Why can’t I add a card not connected to family sharing

Is there a way to pay separately from family sharing? Don’t want game purchases to go on family sharing card

Because that is not how family sharing works.


In family sharing, only the organizer's payment methods can be used.


You can add funds to your Apple ID account, and it will use that, before charing the Family Organizer's payment methods however.
