is there a way for someone who is connected to my family sharing to have her purchase be billed to her instead of me? In other words can there be more than one billing method?

Possibly ...


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.

If the person has a credit in their account the credit will be used instead of being charged to the primary person, otherwise there is no alternative. I guess that's how they make sure it really is a family using it where there is a certain level of trust. Otherwise a "family" might end up being a college dorm.


The other payment control is if one of the people is under 18 at the time of setting up family sharing and ask to buy is activated.
