An in-App purchase can be blocked by changing one iPad setting:

Settings > ScreenTime > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-App Purchases - set to Don't Allow


If not set already, you might be well advised to set a ScreenTime Passcode - ensuring that this differs from the device passcode that is used to lock your iPad:

Settings > ScreenTime > Lock Screen Time Settings


Be sure to record/remember the ScreenTime Passcode someplace safe - as, at best, recovery of a forgotten Passcode is an inconvenience best avoided.


You should note that disallowing in-App purchases will prevent purchases associated with the registered payment method associated with your AppleID account - but will not inhibit any purchases made externally using a separate Credit Card.
