Top up with Credit card

You can top up your PlayStation account directly with your credit card. Just select the amount you want in your account and choose this payment method at checkout. Recharging with a credit card does mean that you’ll have to share your personal information. If you don’t want that, you can try the other payment methods.

Top up with PayPal

PayPal allows you to store funds from different places in one account. This means all your personal data is kept safe and secure. You can use this payment method to top up your PlayStation account in lots of regions, but not everywhere. Be sure to check whether you can use this method beforehand.

Want to top up your PlayStation account with Klarna? You can do so by buying PlayStation Store cards at Startselect. We offer a wide range of payment methods, including Klarna. Select the card you want, complete the payment instructions, and you can top up your account by redeeming the code!
