Split payments
If you have funds in your EA Wallet but they don’t cover your full order total, you can use another payment method to make your purchase.
- Split payments may not work for all payment method types.
- You also can’t use split payments on pre-orders or EA Play memberships.
Make sure you’ve got enough balance in your EA Wallet to cover the full cost for EA Play and pre-orders, or you’ll have to use a different payment method.
You’ll see a charge on your credit card the day after making your purchase. Any applicable sales taxes will be added to the price you see when placing your order.
Did you pre-order your game? Check out our article on pre-orders to see when you’ll be charged.
Why is there a small charge on my order?
You may see a small transaction on your account's online statement within a day or two of any pre-order purchase, or update to your saved payment method.
These are temporary transactions we use to verify the payment information called pre-authorization charges. They’ll automatically refund within seven business days.
There are other reasons why you might see a small additional charge associated with your purchase. Some banks charge an international transaction fee, cross-border transaction fee, or currency exchange fee when processing transactions in a different country and/or currency. These fees don't come from us, and we can't help you with them. Contact your bank or credit card provider to understand these charges.
Buy the wrong game, expansion, or DLC?
- If you have not already downloaded the purchased product, grab your order number, then reach out to us and we’ll make things right.
