In the next chapters I will explain in more detail how you can buy online on Nintendo Switch without having a credit card and how to redeem V-Bucks for the Nintendo console.

How to shop on Fortnite without a credit card

The purchase of content from Nintendo eShop is possible upon prioradding funds to your Nintendo Account, in particular in your virtual wallet linked to the account.

This addition is possible through various payment methods, including credit cards o Prepaid cards, But also a PayPal account or a Nintendo eShop Card.

The procedure for adding funds to your account varies depending on the systems used. For example, if you are looking for a way not to enter sensitive payment information into your Nintendo Account, such as your credit card number, then the safest solution is to use Nintendo eShop Card.

What is it about? Simple, they are prepaid top-ups created directly by Nintendo and sold in various denominations (15, 25 e 50 €) through the most disparate channels, including physical stores of electronics and video games and also online, on sites such as Amazon.

These refills consist of alphanumeric codes that once inserted into the Nintendo eShop allow you to increase the funds by the relative amount bought. In short, no charging costs.

The convenience of these top-ups also lies in the fact that it is easier and safer to manage the funds: once the top-up amount has been used up, it is not possible to make unwanted purchases because the availability of funds is exhausted, so you will have to make a new top-up before you can spend. other money online.

Whether you have decided to use a credit / prepaid card, a Nintendo redeem code or your PayPal account, first proceed to add funds to your Nintendo Switch account.

From the home menu, double-tap the del icon Nintendo eShop (identifiable by the icon of a yellow shopping bag), then choose the account with which to enter the online store by selecting the respective profile picture and wait for the system to ask you to enter the Password of your online account.

Once connected to Nintendo eShop, tap onyour profile icon located in the upper right corner and from the screen Account information press the button Add funds at the entry Current credit.

The system now offers you the method of adding funds. To proceed with credit or prepaid cards, press the button Credit card and follow the on-screen instructions by entering all the card information, if you choose PayPal, press the relevant button and then follow the instructions and access your PayPal account by writing username e Password and then authorizes the addition of funds. Finally, if you want to proceed without credit card tap the center button Nintendo eShop Card.

In the next step you are asked to enter the prepaid code, then tap on line in the center and start typing the prepaid code using the on-screen keyboard. Confirm everything by pressing the key OK of the virtual keyboard and wait for the code to be validated.

Alternatively, you can also proceed from a PC, smartphone or tablet, via the Nintendo eShop website, by logging into your Nintendo account and pressing the button Add funds.

If everything went well, your account's availability of funds has been increased by the amount corresponding to the top-up. You can check your funds at any time from the screen Account information from the Nintendo eShop.

Please note that if the purchase of an item on Fortnite leaves some credit that cannot be spent due to insufficient funds, this will not be lost but will remain in your wallet and will add up on the next top-up, exactly as it happens with telephone top-ups.

Adding funds to the Nintendo Account was the most substantial and important part of being able to buy on Fortnite from Nintendo Switch, so let me explain the next steps to you now.

Returning to the Nintendo Switch main menu, open the game's Fortnite by tapping on its icon and choosing theaccount to play with (it must be the same one that has funds available). After loading, from the main game menu, tap on the item Shop Objects, to consult the catalog of available skins. Now select the item to buy and press the button Buy Now.

Since Fortnite purchases are made using the V-Buck (the digital currency of the game), if you do not have any in the virtual wallet yet, instead of the "Buy" button you will see the button Recharge V-Buck. After pressing it, the game will offer you the purchase of different amounts of game currency (eg. 1.000 V-Buck for 7,99 euros o 5.000 V-Buck for 31,99 euros), then select the one you prefer and press the button Buy Now.

There is also another menu where you can purchase V-Buck using your Nintendo eShop credit, namely the menu V-Buck of the main menu of Fortnite (it is the last selectable item). Again, you can choose different packages: after making your choice, press the button Buy Now.

That's all, complete your "shoppata" and then find all the content purchased in theLocker of your character. From here I remind you that you can equip and manage them as you please.

How to redeem V-Buck on Nintendo Switch

Have you got a V-Buck card for Fortnite and would you like to understand how to redeem it on Nintendo Switch? The operation is not difficult at all, but I anticipate that it is not possible to proceed directly from Nintendo Switch: you must use the dedicated Epic Games site.

Furthermore, I would like to clarify that the possibility that you have these cards is also quite remote, due to the simple fact that these are not normally sold on the Spanish market (at least at the time of writing), where the sale of credit is preferred for the adding funds, as I explained to you earlier.

Either way, if you have one Card V-Buck, you also need an Epic Games account to access the address I reported above. If you do not have it, you can follow the procedure described in this article, remembering to merge the account created with the Nintendo one as I explain you here.

Once you have entered the dedicated site, click on the button let's start e seleziona l'opzione Log in with Nintendo, then continue by entering the V-Buck card code in the appropriate text box, and then select the button NEXT e choose the device with which you play Fortnite. Complete the procedure by following the on-screen instructions and, if all goes well, when you enter Fortnite from your Nintendo console you will have the V-Bucks redeemed from the site.

Now you are ready to shopp on Fortnite with Nintendo Switch, but did you know that there are also ways to get free V-Buck in Fortnite? I'll talk about it in detail in the guide I just linked to and, since the topic related to free content is always very interesting, I think I can also recommend my article on how to get free skins on Fortnite. I wish you a profitable shopping and lots of fun!
