If you have subscriptions, have an unpaid balance, or share purchases with your Family Sharing group, you can’t remove all payment information. Get help if you want to use no payment method with your Apple ID.

Manage payment methods that family members use

When you set up Family Sharing and turn on purchase sharing, one adult in the family — the family organizer — controls a single shared payment method for everyone in the family group.

If you’re the family organizer, you can add multiple payment methods to your own Apple ID, but your family members can use only the first payment method in the list. If a family member can’t make a purchase, the family organizer can move a different payment method to the top of the list.
