You need to redeem the Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card.

See -> How to redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card

How to redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card – Apple Support (UK)


When redeeming a gift card, the amount will be credited to your (1) Apple Account balance and (2) you need to set your Apple Account balance as your default payment.


(1)

See -> Check your Apple Account balance -> Check your Apple Account balance – Apple Support (UK)


(2)

See -> Add a payment method to your Apple ID

Add a payment method to your Apple ID – Apple Support (UK)


If you already use your Apple Account balance, the Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card is automatically added to your Apple Account balance.


If you update your payment method or add funds to your Apple Account balance, It would take about 1 to 3 business days in order to process.

If you're still unable to update your payment method, Contact Apple Support.


After that the message 'Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed' will disappear.
