PayPal is not currently working on Steam for users across several countries such as Singapore, Germany, Norway, Mexico, and more. While no official statement has been made on the Steam News Hub or their X (Twitter) page, you can find this excerpt on Steam’s official support page for clarification. In short, PayPal’s acquiring bank has stopped processing Steam purchases in currencies other than EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, and USD. If your Steam account isn’t using one of these currencies, you won’t be able to use PayPal for purchases for the foreseeable future.
How To Use PayPal On Steam
While you cannot directly use PayPal on Steam in the affected regions, you can still use PayPal to purchase Steam Wallet funds if you want to avoid using your Bank Account or Credit Card.
- Open the SEAGM website (www.seagm.com)
- Type “Steam Wallet” in the search bar

- Once your order is complete, retrieve your code from the “My Orders” tab.
- Login to your Steam account.
- Go to Redeem a Steam Wallet Code page.
- Click Redeem a Steam Gift Card or Wallet Code
By following this step-by-step guide, you can use PayPal to purchase funds for your Steam account so long as SEAGM sells the product for your respective region.
