You currently cannot make direct payments using VISA or Mastercard. If you wish to use VISA or Mastercard, please purchase DL Points. Various payment methods are available for purchasing DL Points within the country. From overseas, you can use AmazonPay, PayPal, and Alipay (Chinese site only).
(English) You might already know from the official announcements on DLsite, Ci-en, etc., but payments through VISA, Mastercard, and American Express are currently suspended. Payments via JCB are still possible. (The suspension of payments through American Express happened a bit later.)
For those in Japan, it's possible to purchase DLsite points using various e-money services, but this option isn't widely available for those overseas. If you're looking to buy DLsite points using VISA, Mastercard, or American Express, please use "dl-pay". (You'll need to have a Amazon or PayPal acount. Amazon Pay payments resumed on April 8, 2024)
【DL-payの利用方法】 -How to Use DL-Pay-
Ci-enの支払い方法選択のページからDL-payにアクセスします。（日本から購入する場合は後述するPayPay等で買うやり方の方が簡単かもしれません） Access DL-pay from the payment method selection page on Ci-en.
Amazon PayかPaypalでポイントを購入できます。
DL-payで購入できるのはポイントを手に入れるためのシリアルコードなので、シリアルコードが送られて来たら、DLsiteに移動して入力する必要があります。 You can purchase points using Amazon Pay or PayPal. What you're actually buying with DL-pay is a serial code to acquire points. Once you receive the serial code, you need to go to DLsite and enter it.
AmazonPayで支払った方がすぐにシリアルコードが表示され、入力サイトに誘導もしてくれるので簡単です。
Paypalで支払う場合は、メールアドレスを入力し、メールに送られてきたサイトに移動して支払いを行い、シリアルコードを入手したらDLsiteに自分で移動してコードを入力する必要があります。 Paying with Amazon Pay is easier as the serial code is displayed immediately, and you are guided to the input site. If you choose to pay via PayPal, you will need to enter your email address, then go to the site sent to your email to make the payment. After obtaining the serial code, you will need to navigate to DLsite yourself and enter the code.
