Family Sharing Credit Cards

For family sharing, is there a way for each family member to use a different card for purchases or will everything be charged to the one card on file?

Only the organizers card will be charged. But each person can pre-load their AppleID with gift card funds as those will be charged down before the charge will apply to the organizers credit card. So basically if they have a credit on their AppleID sufficient to cover the charge, the credit will be used first, instead of the organizers card.
