Why can't I purchase coins in Pokemon Go?

I can't seem to buy any Poke Coins on my iPhone app. Has anyone else had this issue and how did you resolve it?

I usually go to the Shop and press on the coins that I want to purchase but it does nothing and we therefore can't buy any items in the shop.

Best Answer

If nothing happens when you tap on the coins in the shop, you probably have in-app purchases disabled on your phone, possibly through parental controls.
