All the ways to add funds to your Steam wallet - PayPal, Paysafecard & More
Steam is the largest digital distribution platform for PC games in the world. Made by the game developer Valve, Steam features thousands of games of every kind and millions of users in all corners of the world. Buying a game on Steam is very easy, simply find the game you want and pay with whatever method you prefer. But the question that many players ask is exactly that: how can I pay for my Steam purchase? In this blog we will analyse the payment methods available for your Steam games.
What payment methods does Steam accept?
A Steam wallet top-up can be done instantly using PayPal, PaysafeCard, credit cards, debit cards, bank transfers, and Steam gift cards. The most immediate method, if you buy games on a regular basis, is to have funds in your Steam wallet, so you can use them immediately, but there are many other ways if you just want to pay for a single purchase. Let’s check all your options:
Steam gift cards
Prepaid cards to add funds to your Steam wallet directly. Safe and easy to use, with no need to share your banking details. Good if you want a wallet and don’t care about leftover funds.
PayPal
Third-party payment service, very popular worldwide and trustworthy. You can use funds from your PayPal account, or take them from your bank account or any prepaid/credit card. Good if you don’t want to share your bank or card details with many sites.
Visa/Mastercard
Your regular prepaid or credit cards. A standard way to pay for millions of people around the world.
JCB
A popular credit card in the Far East, you may not have heard of it unless you are in Japan.
iDEAL/Wero
Direct and safe payment from your bank account, very common in the Netherlands as iDEAL and now expanding throughout Europe as Wero.
PaysafeCard
A well-known prepaid card accepted in many online stores. Easy to use and safe to recharge, thanks to readily available gift cards.
Skrill
An online digital wallet, popular for gaming and international transfers.
Trustly
Online payment service that bridges the gap between banks and merchants, allowing customers to pay directly from their bank accounts.
All of the above methods can be used to either pay for a single purchase or to add funds to your Steam wallet.
Which Steam payment method should you choose?
That is up to you, depending on your purchasing habits and needs. Many players prefer to add money to their Steam account in advance. Generally speaking, unless you need a one-time purchase, a Steam gift card is widely regarded as the most practical choice, but lately these cards may be hard to find. PayPal and PaysafeCard are excellent alternatives, shielding your personal data from any potential issues. A prepaid Visa or Mastercard can be good options, too. It’s important to remember that you can use those payment methods to top-up your Steam wallet, too.
