Why is my debit card not showing in Apple Wallet for app purchases?

When I got my new phone I also had to update my new debit card. It appears in the wallet but when I go to purchase an app the options are to use apple credit card or apple cash. The debit card is not in that part to chose. I tried to add it to the app purchase screen but the request says that the card is already added.

Payment methods in Wallet are not for in-app purchases or purchases of Apple media or services.

Payment methods in Wallet are for Apple Pay: contactless payment in brick-and-mortar stores that support Apple Pay, and payments on the web for sites that support Apple Pay.


Purchases of apps, in-app payments, Apple digital products, or Apple services use the (primary) payment method that is linked to your Apple ID in Settings﹥[You/Apple ID]﹥Payment & Shipping﹥[ᴘᴀʏᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴇᴛʜᴏᴅs]﹥…


There can be overlap, i.e. the same cards used in both instances, but they are two separate entries administratively.
