Put credit on an Apple ID with a gift card. Then you can make purchases in the App Store on the iPad/iPhone or from iTunes.


For example, for buying apps on the iPad and iPhone or music from iTunes, there are various payment options. For example, people can link a credit card to an Apple ID or purchase credit via iDEAL. You can also put money on the ID with an App Store and iTunes gift card.
