What is paysafecard?

 

Paysafecard is a payment method launched in 2000 that allows online purchases without using a credit card. Paysafecard uses prepaid Mastercard cards that customers can buy at points of sale such as CTT stores, PAGAQUI, and Payshop agents, or recharge via the myPaysafe app. When paysafecard is added to your gateway, customers simply enter a 16-digit PIN.

Today, paysafecard payments are common for app purchases (for example, through Google Play), entertainment (such as PlayStation Store and Xbox Store), in-game purchases (e.g., League of Legends), and betting sites. Paysafecard allows the user to stay anonymous while guaranteeing secure payments for platforms.

 


 

What are the advantages of accepting paysafecard payments?

 

✓ Enhance the customer experience

Paysafecard uses a prepaid card that’s safe and anonymous. By offering paysafecard payments, you provide trust and improve the checkout experience — especially for customers hesitant to use credit cards online.

 

✓ Reach international customers

There are over 600,000 locations worldwide to purchase or recharge paysafecard. This makes it a secure payment method for international customers or digital nomads who don’t yet use Multibanco, MB WAY, or virtual credit cards.

 

✓ Join a secure payment method

Paysafecard was created as a secure solution for those wary of using credit cards online. It allows customers to remain anonymous without sharing credit card information. And for merchants, it’s 100% secure: customers cannot cancel payments.

 

✓ Accept vouchers without creating gift cards

CTT and Payshop agents currently sell prepaid cards and vouchers for shopping, gaming, and entertainment. Besides vouchers for PlayStation, Netflix, and Amazon, paysafecard is also available. So, even if you don’t sell gift cards, customers can use paysafecard vouchers as gifts.

 


Frequently Asked Questions about paysafecard payments

 

How does paysafecard work with the Eupago gateway?

How can I trust paysafecard?

Paysafecard was launched in 2000 in Austria. Unlike Portugal, many countries don’t have options like Multibanco or MB WAY. Prepaid card payments emerged as an innovative way to shop online without sharing credit card details.
