The iPhone 15 does not have a fingerprint sensor. It uses Face ID for authentication. Therefore, setting up a fingerprint for unlocking or authorizing purchases is not possible.
Understanding iPhone 15 Authentication
Apple's iPhone 15, like its Pro and Pro Max counterparts, utilizes Face ID technology for security and authentication. This system uses facial recognition to unlock your device and authorize various actions. There is no fingerprint sensor (Touch ID) available on the iPhone 15.
