Trying to set up my sons child account for family sharing but it makes me confirm payment which triggers PayPal to text me a code. But the code never works. And on the iPhone side I get a “(PayPal (undefined):)”

setting up child's account with appleid I am having difficulty getting past the 'consent' section of creating a child account via my family sharing with my appleid. I already had paypal as my payment method. I get sent a code via text, i get a message saying 'error, try again later'. I have tried on my iphone and on my mac. I added a VISA payment method and it is still not letting me proceed any further. None of the answers online are useful as it merely says to follow the instructions. The instructions don't allow you to get any further.

Why can’t I set up an account for my child? Ok this has been so frustrating, I have tried on every Apple device I own to set up a child account and add to family sharing for my daughter. I get as far as keying in the PayPal code sent to my phone and get the same message every time on every device. There was an error. Please try again later. I also receive the message. Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later. Can some one please please help as it is driving me crazy why something so simple is so bloody difficult!

I would contact PayPal about this. It appears to be their verification process that is having issues. Apple is likely just asking PayPal if using your account is okay and since PayPal is not getting the code Paypal is saying no.
