Do I have to share payments?

I have family sharing on but I really don’t want to pay for everyone’s additional purchases. Do I have to share my payment? Or can I add credit cards and when it’s time to purchase everyone can pick a payment?

If you mean credit card, that’s expected. Individual members can use a gift card or add funds to their Apple ID to pay on their own. Otherwise, the family organizer is charged for all purchases when using purchase sharing.
