If you have 'ask to buy' enabled for the family member then to approve the purchase (you won't be able to do so on Mavericks) : Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
If you're the organizer, you can use these steps to make or decline the purchase from your iOS device with iOS 8 or Mac with OS X Yosemite:
- Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. (See your notifications on your Mac or iOS device.)
- Approve or decline the purchase.
- If you approve, you need to sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase.
