Can I buy Steam Wallet credit with Paysafecard?

Yes. Paysafecard is accepted directly on Steam as a payment method in most European countries, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain. To add funds, go to Account Details in Steam, select Add Funds to Steam Wallet, choose Paysafecard, and enter your 16-digit PIN code. If Paysafecard does not appear at checkout in your region, you can use it to buy a Steam gift card from a third-party retailer instead.

How do I pay with Paysafecard on Steam?

Log in to Steam and go to Account Details. Click Add Funds to Steam Wallet, choose the amount you want to add, select Paysafecard as the payment method, and enter your 16-digit PIN code. Confirm the transaction and your balance updates immediately. If you have an unused portion left on the code, it stays on the Paysafecard for future use, provided the code has not expired.

What is the transaction limit for Paysafecard on Steam?

A single Paysafecard code supports transactions up to €50. To exceed this limit, you can combine multiple codes at checkout or create a free myPaysafecard account. With a verified myPaysafecard account, the transaction limit increases to €1,000 (paysafecard.com, 2025). This is useful if you want to top up a larger amount in one go, for example during a Steam sale.

Can I use a Paysafecard voucher from a different country on Steam?

You can use a Paysafecard voucher from another European country on Steam only if the voucher currency matches your Steam Wallet currency. For example, a German euro voucher works on a euro-denominated Steam account, but not on a Polish account set to PLN. Purchasing a voucher in your local currency is the safest approach to avoid currency mismatch fees or declined payments.

Step-by-Step: Buy Steam Wallet Credit with Paysafecard

There are two methods: top up your Steam Wallet directly through Steam, or buy a Steam gift card from a third-party retailer with Paysafecard. Both methods work across the supported European countries.

Step 1: Get a Paysafecard voucher

Buy a Paysafecard at a supermarket, petrol station, kiosk, or online. Vouchers come in fixed denominations, typically €10, €25, and €50.

Step 2: Choose your top-up method

If Paysafecard appears as a payment option in your Steam account: use the direct method in Step 3. If it does not appear: use the gift card route in Step 4.

Step 3: Add funds directly on Steam

Log in to your Steam account. Go to Account Details and select Add Funds to Steam Wallet. Choose the amount you want to add, select Paysafecard as the payment method, enter your 16-digit PIN code, and confirm the transaction. Your Steam Wallet balance updates immediately.

To speed up future purchases, you can link your Paysafecard to your Steam account: go to Account Details, select Add a payment method to this account, and choose Paysafecard.

Step 4: Or buy a Steam gift card via a third-party retailer

Visit a gift card retailer such as Baxity. Select the Steam gift card denomination you want and choose Paysafecard at checkout. Enter your 16-digit PIN to complete the payment. The Steam code arrives by email within minutes.

Open the Steam client, go to Games, then Redeem a Steam Product Code, and enter the code. The balance is added to your account immediately.

Fees, Limits, and Availability

Paysafecard does not charge a usage fee when you top up Steam directly, as long as the voucher currency matches your Steam Wallet currency. If the currencies differ, a fee of approximately 2% applies.

Single Paysafecard codes support transactions up to €50. To spend more in one session, combine multiple codes at checkout or register a free myPaysafecard account, which raises the transaction limit to €1,000.

Steam accepts Paysafecard in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK.

Make sure the currency on your Paysafecard voucher matches your Steam account currency. A euro-denominated voucher bought in Germany cannot be used on a Steam account set to a different currency such as PLN.
