Family sharing for Apple One?

so currently i have an apple music subscription but I’m planning to get apple on for 6 members to share it with my family. But do i have to enable family sharing to share the subscription to others? And if i have to, does this means that i have to share for example the same credit card etc.?

Yes, and yes but only if you are the Family Sharing Organizer and do not disable purchase sharing.

The family organizer is billed for family members' purchases" (but read the document for the link to "learn how purchases are billed if a family member has Apple ID balance").

"Who is charged for the subscription?


If Purchase Sharing is turned on, the family organizer pays for everyone's subscriptions.*


If you're the family organizer and you don't want to pay for family members' purchases and subscriptions, you can turn off Purchase Sharing.

When Purchase Sharing is turned off, everyone must use their own

payment method. When Purchase Sharing is turned off, family members can

share subscriptions, but they can't share individual purchases like apps

or books.
