To use your Apple ID balance as a payment method, first, ensure your balance is enough to cover your purchase. Then, head to your device's Settings, tap on your name, and go to Payment & Shipping. If prompted, sign in with your Apple ID. Your balance automatically becomes the default payment method for purchases in the App Store, iTunes Store, or for iCloud storage, as long as it is sufficient. If your balance can't cover the full cost, you'll need to add another payment method.
