You can add funds to your Apple ID using the payment method that you have on file or App Store & iTunes Gift Cards.
After you add funds, you can use the store credit (Apple ID balance) to make iTunes & App Store or iCloud Storage purchases, as long as you're signed in to each store with the same Apple ID. The credit is used for each purchase you make in a store until it's gone.
You can view your credit balance in your Apple ID account information.

- If you use Family Sharing, the credit you redeem is available only to you. Credit on your account isn't shared with other family members.
- Your credit is available in the iTunes Store, App Store, and Apple Books. If you don't think the amount of credit available to you is correct, check your purchase history to see if some of the balance was used for a purchase. If you still don't think the balance is correct, sign out of the iTunes Store and App Store on all of your devices and then sign back in.
- Before you can change your Apple ID country or region, you must spend any store credit on your Apple ID. You must also wait for any pending store credit refunds to process. Learn what to do if your remaining store credit is less than the cost of a single item.
- Learn how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
