Can a iTunes card be used to pay for purchases with a family share?

Can you use a iTunes card instead of a credit card or debit card with family share? Or can that balance be depleted before charging the credit or debit card?

Hello there, clavere.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up an answer to your question:

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. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Why can you not use Apple Pay for purchases in the App Store or iTunes?

To make a purchases in the App Store or iTunes, it appears you can only pay by entering Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or AmEx information. If you select none and try to make a purchase, you will again be prompted to enter this information. I would like to use my Apple Pay account to pay for Apps/tunes, but that doesn't seem possible. It seems this negates one of the primary benefits of Apple Pay, which is to make purchases without turning over your credit card information to the merchant, in this case Apple. I know you can pay with Touch ID, but that is only authoring payment from your credit card information you have on file.

Hello ToastyFlake,
It sounds like you are wanting to use ApplePay to purchase content from either the iTunes or App Stores. According to the following article, you are correct. ApplePay is for in-app (if the app supports it) or purchasing from a retail store.
Set up and use Apple Pay
Pay with Apple Pay in stores
On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you can use Apple Pay in stores that accept contactless payments. Look for one of these symbols at checkout:
Pay with Apple Pay in apps
On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, you can use Apple Pay to pay within apps when you see the “Buy with Apple Pay” or “Apple Pay” button as a payment method. Look for these buttons in apps:

Can an iTunes card be used for iCloud storage upgrade?

We are trying to upgrade my sisters iPad icloud storgae but she does not have a credit card. Can we use a iTunes card for this?

Not without having a credit card on file. iCloud storage upgrades are a subscription and not a one-time purchase, so a credit card is required even if the actual payment wouldn't be charged to it.

HT201209 can an itunes card be used for both my computer and my iphone?

I want to be able to use the card with both devices.

Yes. When you redeem the card, the amount will be applied as a credit on your account. It can be used from any computer or device that is using that account.

The card we are using to pay for purchases is a english card registered to a spanish address, but when we try to purchase a movie on apple tv it says it is not available on a spanish registered card. Does anyone have any suggestions why it's like this?

Help Please!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Which store are you trying to use. I believe you need to use the store in the country in which your credit card is registered.

I lost my $20 itunes card but still have receipt of purchase Can i still redeem it??

I lost my $20 itunes card but still have receipt of purchase Can i still redeem it?

You can ask, but there's almost certainly nothing they will be able to do for you. Gift cards, from any retailer, are almost always treated like cash and hence cannot be replaced if you lose them. Apple's terms say:
Neither Issuer nor Apple is responsible for lost or stolen Gift Certificates, iTunes Cards, Content Codes, or Allowances.
Sorry, but you're probably out of luck.
