If you are a member of Family Sharing and the Organizer is using Purchase Sharing, then you will not be able to add your own Payment Method and any charge that cannot be covered by your Account Balance will be billed to the Organizer's payment method. Tu use your own Payment Method, they will need to turn off Purchase Sharing.

Check these possibilities:


● If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

Tap Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > scroll to Allow Changes and turn on.


- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Troubleshooting to Adding a Method of Payment:

A. Sites to Use:


B. If Declined:

Go Here: If your Payment Method is Declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support


No Success?

C. Contact Apple Support:

For Financial Assistance, Contact Apple Store Support. You need to contact Apple Support Directly. This is a User-to-User forum. We are all volunteers. So, as you may suspect, no one here has access to that information — and that is a good thing, BTW. That’s why for Financial Assistance, you need to contact Apple Support. They’ll see what’s going on and will run you through the fix.
