Apple Pay for users under 18

hello. I am under 18 but I am above the age that is required to create an Apple ID so I am eligible for that and I would like to occasionally continue to receive payments but I can't anymore because I need an ID. Can my parents use their ID to verify? I have my own state ID so that is an option also if needed

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

If you’re under 18 you’re not permitted to own an Apple Cash account outside of an Apple Cash Family group. Please review the support article I linked to below.


If your Apple Cash account is restricted or locked

oh OK. Is there a possible way I can join the family sharing group, have my parents set up an Apple Cash family for me and leave the family sharing group? Because if I do family sharing I wouldn't be able to make purchases on my card anymore because it is using the family organizers name. When I basically mean is I want to make Apple Cash family a separate thing
