Can I apply a gift card to a child account?

Is there a way I can apply a gift card to my daughter's Apple account? I set up her account via Family Sharing on our iPad. If I add the gift card to her account, will it use the credit if she tries to buy something, or will it use the credit card tied to the Family Sharing account?
Thanks in advance!

Hi JailbreakKeeper, 
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If there is iTunes Store credit on an account, the credit will be used first before the credit card is charged. 
Family purchases and payments
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.
If you need information adding store credit to an existing account, please use the attached article as a reference.
