To transfer credit from your Apple ID, head to the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name at the top, then choose 'Family Sharing'. From there, select 'Purchase Sharing' and turn it on. This allows family members to share purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books using the same credit card linked to the family organizer’s Apple ID. Unfortunately, you can’t transfer Apple ID credit directly to another Apple ID outside of this family sharing setup.
