Learn what steps to take if you can't add a card to the Wallet app to use with Apple Pay.

1. Check that you're able to use Apple Pay:

• • Contact your card issuer to see if they support Apple Pay.
  • Update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, watchOS, or macOS.
  • Make sure that you are in a supported country or region.
  • Check that your device is compatible with Apple Pay.

2.Check for services outages or connection issues.

Apple does not approve or decline cards for use with Apple Pay. If your card was declined, contact your bank or card issuer.

Hi,

Make sure you have Apple Cash Family set up, the DOB of her Apple ID is correct, and if she already has an Apple Cash account prior to family setup, you will need to have an Apple Cash Specialist close that account in order to set up a new one with the Family Sharing. Once set up, she should be able to add a payment method to Wallet.

• Set up and use Apple Cash Family
• Update the birth date associated with your Apple ID
• If your Apple Cash account is restricted or locked

In Ireland these type of payment methods are accepted

• Apple Pay3
• Most credit and debit cards
• PayPal2
• Apple ID balance (from redeeming Apple Gift Card or adding funds)
• Mobile phone billing (through supported carriers)

If you still face the payment method adding issues you can also contact apple support they will help you with ease Official Apple Support

I expect that as the device is under family sharing you need to assign permission to add payment methods for your child's device.
