switch Newbies will always ask a question, that is, how to buy digital versions of games. Currently, there are various ways to buy the digital version of switch: credit card payment, PayPal and point card recharge, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
switch How to purchase the digital version of the game
1. Credit card payment: Use a foreign currency card with visa function. However, payment is often failed due to bank restrictions. In addition, some bank cards also have high currency conversion fees, which may not be worth the gain. .
2, PayPal: A very famous payment method abroad. You can bind a credit card for payment, which is more convenient and safer. But you need to have a visa credit card.
3. Point card recharge: This is the most commonly used method at present. You can directly purchase the point card of the corresponding regional server on a certain treasure. After recharging, you can use it to buy games. However, this method often leaves a balance, and it is difficult to buy point cards in some regional servers. In addition, purchasing low-price point cards may also run the risk of banning.
4, Hong Kong server: Although the Hong Kong server eshop cannot support Alipay , you can use Alipay to pay directly in the Hong Kong server's page version mall.
Generally speaking, for novices, I still recommend the card recharge method. Of course, if you are a hardcore player, you still need to learn the PayPal method!
