How to add payment method on iphone with family sharing

I just found out that all of the purchases made in my family account (Me, my girlfriend, my dad, and her dad) all get charged to my payment method after a week or two of random charges on my PayPal from Apple.

Apparently, this is tied to the purchase sharing feature of the Family. I'd still like to share my purchases, as my girlfriend uses apps that I bought, but I dont want to share the payment.

So I have 3 questions.

  1. Can I enable sharing past purchases without sharing payment

If not, can I

  1. Check who made what purchase and when

and

  1. Can the family members choose to use a different payment method.

Thanks!

4. Modify or remove the information. Tap Remove to delete a payment method.

You can't unfortunately. However if you purchase gift card and add it to your account then it will take funds off of that before going to your dads account since I would assume he is set as the head of family for family sharing.

"...After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card..."
