Paypal as payment option with family sharing?

I do not own a credit card and I do not want one. My payment option for Itunes is Paypal, which is linked to my bank account. I recently set up family sharing with my daughter and since then Itunes keeps asking me to verify my payment method. Does family sharing require a credit card or will it work with paypal too?

The link in the "Change your Family Sharing payment method" section of:

Family purchases and payments - Apple Support

takes you to:

Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support

where it says:

Some countries and regions can use PayPal or mobile phone billing (through supported carriers).

It requires a credit card.

If you're using Family Sharing and you're the family organizer, you can use the following payment methods:

  • Credit and debit cards
  • Some additional payment methods available in select countries or regions (Alipay, China UnionPay, mobile phone billing, TrueMoney)"



No mention of using Paypal.
