IPhone won't let me use fingerprint for purchases and not unlock?

I want to just use my fingerprint for purchases in iTunes and App Store so I go to setting and select just that one option but if I lock my phone it still makes me type in a passcode. I don't have that selected. Is there a way to just use it for iTunes and not have to type in a code to unlock my phone

No. You have to type the password

Unfortunately, no. You can select the option to use it for your passcode AND itunes but not like that.

No. It's deliberately awkward to prevent accidental purchases being made.

Convenience can be very inconvenient if it promotes errors.
