How to Top Up a New Steam Account the First Time

Checklist before the first top-up

1. Sign in to Steam from the country the account belongs to and open the store once.
2. Check that store prices show the currency you expect: ₸, ₴ or $.
3. Open Account details and copy the login name from the page title.
4. Optionally add a free game to the library so the account has some store activity.
5. Place a small first order, for example $5, then larger ones after it shows on the wallet.

Why a small first order

The first purchase or top-up fixes the wallet currency. A small first order confirms that the wallet uses the currency you expect, and costs only $4.42 for $5. After it arrives, larger orders follow with no surprises.

After the first top-up

• The balance appears next to your profile name.
• Account details shows the store transaction.
• Your SteamTopup order shows Delivered.
• The same login works for every next top-up.
