Cannot approve purchase for child

Hey there, Kaleobuba,

Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.

It sounds like Ask to Buy is the feature that isn't working as expected here, but we're happy to share some information we think will help. The article that most often resolves these types of issues is going to be this one: If Ask to Buy isn't working - Apple Support. With that being the case, we recommend checking that resource out and working through the steps included there to get this purchase squared away so your son can start enjoying Minecraft!

We hope this does the trick for you!

Cheers.

Greetings Kaleobuba,

To confirm, have you verified the payment information associated to your Apple ID? The reason we ask is due to the error you're seeing, it's a good indication it may be related to your payment details. If you're using a Mac, you can follow the steps listed below to verify your payment information. These steps along with steps for verifying your payment information via iTunes on Mac or PC can be found in the following article.

1. "Open the App Store.
2. Click your name. If your name doesn't appear, click the Sign In button, sign in with your Apple ID, then click your name.
3. Click Account Settings.
4. Next to Payment Information, click Manage Payments. (If you're using an older version of macOS, click Edit next to Payment Type.)
5. Click Add Payment.
6. Enter the payment method details, then click Done."

Add a payment method to your Apple ID

Have a great day!

Hello, Kaleobuba.

This would be the Organizers payment method. If you're still having troubles, it would be best recommended to contact Apple Support. From there they can look further into your account: Contact - Official Apple Support

Cheers!
