With Family Sharing, can individual family members use their own payment methods?

I want to add my partner to purchase sharing and vice versa, but we would like to keep payment methods separate. Is there any way to accomplish this in Family Sharing?

You will have to make sure, that everybody has her/his own, personal Apple ID balance.

If you're in a Family Sharing group, purchases that you make are charged to your personal Apple Account balance. If you don't have enough Apple Account balance to pay for the purchase, the remainder is charged to the family organizer if purchase sharing is turned on.
