Parent Controls Cannot purchase game

Both my sons are under 13 and I have a supervisory account with no headset attached to it. My son's want to buy a game, they send me a request, I approve it, then purchase it but my kids don't have the game. I try to gift it to them but it just continues to go to the same screens and nothing happens. We have wasted $100 on games we don't have because we cannot figure out how to buy. I have asked for help, googled it, and still nothing. All the prompts given in the meta account just keep circling back. Request,accepted,purchase. Request,accepted, purchase. What are we missing?

    1. If not successful via the App, try by logging into the Meta account website and navigating to Other Settings > Payment Methods.
    2. If not successful, try using a different browser.
       
  2. Try adding the payment method from another device completely (another computer, phone, or tablet.)
     
  3. Try adding the payment method from within virtual reality by using the headset.
     
  4. Try adding the payment method while connected to a different network (another Wi-Fi network or a cellular data connection on a phone, if available).
