Can I use paypal for family sharing purchases?

Hi muchjk,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
No, the family organizer cannot use a PayPal account for the payment method. The article below provides more information about Family Sharing and supported forms of payment with the iTunes Store.

  • Can't use Paypal with Family Sharing?

    I have my iTunes account set up to take money out of my Paypal account.  Trying to set up Family Sharing in iOS 8 but it's saying "Paypal is not supported on this device."
    What's up with that?
    If I want to use Family Sharing I need to change what account my Apple ID is connected to?

    If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

  • Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

  • Wrong apple ID for family sharing purchases

    I use one email address for iCloud and one for iTunes purchases.
    I have signed up to family sharing using my iTunes account, but when a family member requests approval for an app purchase, it defaults to my iCloud email address (the address is greyed out) and I cannot then approve the purchase.
    Any solutions gratefully received.

    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

  • Can't use PayPal for purchases

    I want to do what for me is the right thing and pay for all my downloads, but I can't get the Store to use my PayPal account, so not only do I have an outstanding bill, I can't buy any more music, etc.! I tried to fix the problem, but now I bought a tv show and it's not on my iPod or computer! What do I do now, short of pitching this iPod in the trash?

    *What OS platform are U using? this would help.*
    But usually it resides in iTunes directory?
    Did you perches the TV show through iTunes (apple store) or what?
    Regards,
    Bill

  • How can i use paypal for my funding source

    I've set it up and authorized it thru paypal, but it still does not pay my ballance.  I can't update any apps or even download free ones, because I have a $2 ballance.  I want to use my paypal account to pay this.  Any ideas???

    Ok...  I thought you were referring to the store on your iPhone.
    On iTunes on your computer, you selected PayPal then clicked Continue then logged into your PayPal account?
    I don't think it's PayPal that's the issue. $2 for an app...  you have to take into account taxes and fees that may apply to your location, whether in the United States or abroad. $2 may not cover the total cost of the app.

  • Can iTunes credit be used instead of credit card for Family Sharing Organizer?

    I'm aware that a member in a Family Sharing group uses their iTunes credit (gift cards) before the Organizer's credit card is charged.
    But what happens if the Organizer has iTunes credit? Will the members' purchases get deducted from that credit prior to the credit card?
    Haven't found any real info on this yet :/
    side question: if all of the members have iCloud Drive monthly fees, will that also get deducted from the Organizer's account? (either by credit card or iTunes credit)

    Sad but true, I've tried to pay for iTunes Match with my credit and couldn't because it's a subscription service, regardless the credit amount I have. The system ask me to pay with my credit card too.
    How are Family Sharing purchases billed?
    When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card.

  • I already have a valid payment method for my iTunes account, but can't get past the Family Sharing setup prompt telling me to add a payment method . What to do?

    I already have a valid payment method for my iTunes account, but can't get past the Family Sharing setup prompt telling me to add a payment method . What to do?

    I had the same problem and found a bunch of others did, too.  Unfortunately all the posts had no responses!  Anyway, I previously had my payment method linked to my paypal.  I tried changing it to my credit card and it worked.  Don't know if there's a bug with using paypal but that seemed to be the culprit for me.  Good luck!

  • Can i see Family Shared purchases in iTunes on my Mac?

    I'm ones of those people who had a separate Apple ID for iTunes purchases and another for iCloud.
    I have successfully set up Family share on my iPhone to allow me to use my iCloud Apple ID in the iTunes store and still access my purchases from the old iTunes-only Apple ID.
    Now in the iTunes app on my iPhone, I can see TV shows purchased with the older account when I'm signed in with my Family Share iCloud Apple ID, however I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the desktop version of iTunes.
    Is there a way to view all Family shared purchases in iTunes on the desktop?
    thanks

    If they were purchased from iTunes then connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. If they came from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    If by 'missing' you mean that you have them listed in the Music part of your iTunes library but get the 'would you like to locate' message when trying to play them then you will need to delete them from there for the Transfer Purchases to work - otherwise that will see those entries in your library and assume that you still have them somewhere and not copy them back.

  • Purchases with iTunes cards for family sharing.

    I would like to set up family sharing, but was just wondering whether purchases would still be charged to my account even if some members already have iTunes cards loaded on theirs? In my head, it'd make sense for the purchase to be taken from their credit if it's available. And once they ran out, if they topped it up, would they still be able to use their own credit? Or does everyone share it?

    Hi SnowyKC,
    The family organizer is the one who agrees to pay for iTunes Store purchases.  To learn more about Family Sharing purchases, please see the inforamtion outlined below.
    With Family Sharing, one adult in the family—the family organizer—agrees to pay for any iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases that other family members initiate while they're part of the family group. This also includes ongoing subscription purchases initiated by family members, such as iCloud storage, iTunes Match, and Newsstand subscriptions.

  • Can I use Paypal to pay for Icloud storage?

    Can I use Paypal to pay for Icloud storage?  We are getting messages that we are exceeding the 5GB of free storage and need to pay for additional storage.  I can use Paypal on ITunes but don't see that option with Icloud storage?   What am I doing wrong?

    The payment associated with your account is for all iTunes and App store related purchases. If you already have a valid payment method in place, you shouldn't be asked for one when you purchased additional iCloud storage.

  • Can i use my iwork family pack for ipad2?

    I bought iwork when i purchased my macbook, it is the family pack and has installs left on it. Can i use it for my ipad2(that they say will take 4-5 weeks!)?

    Hey RedEyedJedi & welcome to the forums.
    iWork for the iPad is a different application. The discs you bought won't work. If you want iWork on your iPad, you need to buy it through the App Store.
