If you have "Family sharing / purchase sharing" set up, the Family organiser may be responsible ?

Find out how to pay an unpaid order.

If a message says 'billing problem with previous purchase' or 'verification required' - Apple Support


More info:

What is purchase sharing?

Purchase sharing is a feature that you can use after you set up Family Sharing. When you turn on purchase sharing, everyone in your family gets access to the apps, music, films, TV shows and books that family members buy from Apple.
