How to Pay with Apple Balance Instead of a Card on Your Apple ID

Learn how to use your Apple balance for purchases on the App Store and iTunes instead of your linked credit or debit card.

0 views

To pay with your Apple balance instead of your card, simply ensure that you have enough balance to cover your purchase. When you make a purchase from the App Store, iTunes Store, or renew a subscription, Apple first attempts to use your Apple ID balance. If the balance is insufficient, it will then turn to the primary payment method linked to your Apple ID. If you want to solely use your Apple balance, you may consider removing other payment methods temporarily, or ensure your balance covers the entire cost of the transaction.
