    Hi Daddy720,

     

    It sounds like you are looking to use Touch ID to approve purchases requested by your family members. According to step 3 of this section of the following article you need to sign in with your Apple ID to authorize the purchases:

     

    Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy

    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201089

    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:

    1. Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. (See your notifications on your Mac or iOS device.)
    2. Approve or decline the purchase.
    3. If you approve, you need to sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase.
