Family Sharing - Store Credit

Hello! I was setting up Family Sharing today for the Apple Music Family plan. I was wondering, if my sister (older than 18) had a debit card to store credit on her iTunes account would family sharing still require her to use my debit card or would it remove the money from her personal account?

If she has a balance on her account then it should use that for her purchases : Family purchases and payments - Apple Support


After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
