Before paying
Check that the service is available to your account and accepts your chosen card. Universal and Universal+ differ in fees and issuing country; the merchant may apply its own restrictions.
Check the card balance allowing for fees, conversion and verification charges. Use Card Details for the number, expiry and CVV, and SafePay Billing for the holder name and address. Keep the service profile information accurate.
Complete checkout
- Sign in to your Steam account. Check the actual store country and whether the game is available there.
- Add the game to your cart, choose an eligible card method and check the currency, price and card requirements.
- Enter SafePay card and billing details, complete any issuer request and wait for Steam’s result.
After confirmation
Check purchase history and the library before paying again. Store-country changes require actual location and an eligible payment method under Steam’s rules. If your card is unsuitable, ask Steam Support for an allowed option.
If a 3D Secure request appears, complete the confirmation shown in SafePay, then return to the merchant. Do not pay again while the result is pending. For an error, keep its text, time and amount.
Steam prohibits masking residence with a VPN or proxy to evade regional restrictions or pricing. Do not use a fictitious foreign account to bypass a decline.
Steam Wallet and the store country
Steam game checkout and a Steam Wallet balance top-up are separate options on the store. For either transaction, check that Steam actually accepts the offered payment method in the account’s real store country and that the transaction category is permitted by SafePay. A Steam Wallet purchase is not permission to use SafePay for general-purpose electronic-wallet funding. Follow Steam’s regional rules; Steam prohibits using a VPN or proxy to disguise your location to evade geographic restrictions or pricing.
