How do I add funds to Nintendo eShop?
To add funds to your Nintendo eShop account there are two main methods. On Nintendo Switch: open the Nintendo eShop from the home screen, select your account, click your profile icon or balance in the top-right corner and select Add Funds. Choose to pay by credit or debit card or select Use a Nintendo eShop Card to redeem a prepaid code. On a web browser (PC, phone, or tablet): go to accounts.nintendo.com, sign in, go to Store → Funds and Payment Methods → Add Funds and choose your payment method. To redeem a Nintendo eShop gift card or wallet code, go to ec.nintendo.com/redeem, sign in, enter your 16-character code and click Redeem — funds are added to your balance instantly. Important things to know:
- Funds are region specific — make sure the gift card matches your Nintendo Account region
- eShop funds cannot be refunded once added to your account
- Funds do not expire once redeemed
- Your balance cannot be transferred to another Nintendo Account
