Use apple gift card to pay apple credit card

To buy apps from the App Store, use Apple subscriptions like iCloud+ and Apple Music, or buy other media from Apple, you need an Apple ID and a valid payment method. See what forms of payment are accepted in your country or region.

If you can't make purchases or update apps, including free apps, you need to update your payment method or add a new one. If you already verified that a payment method is available in your country or region and you're still having trouble, contact your financial institution.
