Hey AdrianApple,


Thanks for the question. Based on your question, it seems like you want to know if Ask to Buy is required for free purchases. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.


Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy

When a family member initiates a new purchase or free download, a request is sent to the organizer if Ask to Buy is on.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Have a nice day,

Mario
