Quick Answer
DLsite currently accepts JCB cards directly. For readers without a
JCB card, DLsite also offers an official points-purchase option
(via DPay) directly from the product page. Depending on your
country, DPay may support Visa, Mastercard, American Express,
UnionPay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
This is an independent guide and is not affiliated with DLsite,
BitCash, Play-Asia, DPay, or any payment provider mentioned below.
Not sure which method to use?
- Have a JCB card? → Use it directly at checkout.
- Don’t have JCB? → Try DPay first (see Method 2 below).
- DPay not available or not convenient? → Consider BitCash
(Method 3).
| Method | Supported Brands / Services | Account Credit | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| JCB Card (direct) | JCB | Instant, at checkout | Users with a JCB card |
| DLsite Points via DPay | Visa, Mastercard, Amex, UnionPay, Apple Pay, Google Pay (varies by region) | Automatic, in point packs (e.g. 1,000pt) | Most readers without JCB |
| BitCash (prepaid) | Purchased via a retailer such as Play-Asia | Manual code entry | Readers who prefer prepaid codes |
Always start from DLsite’s own “Purchase Points” button or My Page
— avoid searching for third-party sites claiming to sell DLsite
codes or points outside DLsite’s own official flow.
How to Buy on DLsite from Outside Japan
Method 1: JCB Card (Direct, if available)
If your card has the JCB logo, you can check out directly on
DLsite with no extra steps.
Method 2: DLsite Points via DPay — Recommended for most readers
This is part of DLsite’s own official points-purchase flow,
accessed directly from your account.
- On the product page, click the green “Purchase Points” button
(or, in your cart, look for the “International Customers /
海外のお客様” section). - Select “DPay” from the list of overseas payment options — it
is often listed as a recommended choice, though other official
options may also appear depending on your region. - Choose a point pack (points are sold in fixed amounts, such as
1,000pt, 3,000pt, or 5,000pt — you may need to round up to the
next pack size). - Follow the instructions shown to link your DLsite account
(this may ask for your account email, ID, and/or password). - Once payment is completed, the purchased points should be
added to your DLsite account automatically — no serial code
needed. - Return to your cart or the product page, select points as your
payment method, and complete your purchase.
Note: DPay may charge in your local currency (e.g. TWD), with USD
shown as a reference price. The final amount may vary slightly with
exchange rates.
Method 3: BitCash Prepaid Codes (Alternative)
If DPay or other official points options aren’t available or
convenient for you, BitCash is another option.
How it works:
- Buy BitCash from a retailer such as Play-Asia.
- Receive your prepaid code, according to the retailer’s delivery
time. - At DLsite checkout, select BitCash as your payment method.
- Copy and paste the code into the payment field — no Japanese
keyboard needed.
Play-Asia is an independent third-party retailer, not a DLsite or
BitCash service. Check current pricing, region restrictions, and
refund policy before purchasing, as these can change.
Payment Methods Not Available for Direct Payment at DLsite
- Visa / Mastercard / American Express — check whether DPay is
available for your region instead - PayPal — not accepted directly; some third-party retailers
selling prepaid codes may accept it
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Japanese address or bank account?
Generally, no. However, requirements may vary depending on the
card, retailer, and your country.
Do I receive a serial code with DPay?
No. Points purchased via DPay should be added directly to your
DLsite account automatically.
How do I enter the BitCash code without a Japanese keyboard?
You don’t need Japanese input enabled — just copy the code from
the retailer and paste it into the input box on DLsite.
What if my payment fails?
Please contact DLsite support or the relevant retailer directly —
we cannot access individual transaction details.
