Family Sharing - Purchase Sharing

Hi there. I have a question about Family Sharing - specifically about Purchase Sharing. I'm organizer and I have Purchase Sharing turned off, but somehow I still get all purchases from family members charged on my credit card. I don't want that! Please help!

Even though purchase sharing is turned off, as the family organizer, you are still responsible for paying for all purchases family members make.


Have the family members buy/redeem iTunes Gift cards to their accounts. Charges will be deducted from the account balance before the organizer's credit card is charged.

Gift cards redeem.
