    Hi jtomczyk,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that you have Family Sharing enabled for use with the Apple Music Family Plan and your daughter is making purchases that are being billed to your credit card. 

     

    If you daughter is under 18, one solution would be to turn on Ask to Buy. This will send you a notification allowing you to either approve or deny the purchase. More information about Ask to Buy can be found in the following article.

    Another possible solution would be to add funds to your daughter’s account at intervals that you decide are best. Without store credit on the account, all purchases by family members will be billed to you, the organizer. That is, unless that family member has their own store credit on their account. This information is located in the next article. 

     

    Making purchases

    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.
