Seems you can only change the password requirement for free (not paid) items ... there are some things you can change though, (eg: you may want to try using Face ID or touch ID, or only enter a password once every 15 minutes when making purchases, etc..)


Apple Support's article below has all the details of what's possible.

Require a password for purchases in the App Store and other Apple services - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"You can require a password for every purchase or require a password every 15 minutes.

You can choose how often you want to enter your password when you buy items (including in-app purchases) from the App Store and other Apple services:" ( Much more info. in the linked article itself )
