Option 1: Recharge your blank ID to purchase software

  1. Basic account status: Blank account has no built-in balance and cannot directly purchase paid apps. There are two recharge methods:
  • Binding overseas payment methods yourself (this site does not provide relevant support);
  • Purchase an Apple Gift Card in the corresponding region to recharge your account.
  1. Important Rules for Recharging Gift Cards: About 3% consumption tax will be charged for purchasing software in regions such as the United States, and a tax limit must be reserved for the recharge balance, otherwise the balance will be prompted that the balance is insufficient. Example: For software with a price tag of US$2.99, it is recommended to reserve more than US$4 in the account balance.
  2. Frequently Asked Questions: When some accounts use gift cards to consume, the system will force a binding payment method. There is no solution to this problem and it is not within the scope of after-sales processing.

Option 2: Directly purchase the software finished product number

  1. Advantages of finished product number: The account has purchased the target payment software in advance, or has a built-in sufficient balance. After logging in, you can directly download the corresponding App.
  2. Store display processing that still requires payment: This is an App Store page caching issue. Ignore the payment prompt and directly click Download to install normally.

Supplementary reminder

  1. Gift cards need to match the region where the Apple ID belongs. Cross-regional gift cards cannot be recharged;
  2. After you recharge, you can check the gift card redemption tutorial to complete the balance transfer operation.
