Payment methods at origin. Step-by-step instructions on how to buy games on Origin. Origin Access paid subscription options

Electronic Arts is a large game manufacturer that cares about the convenience of its customers. Therefore, the Origin game client is constantly updated and convenient features are added that expand the functionality. For example, an option was added to pay for Origin via Qiwi.

Origin History

Origin's history as a standalone marketplace dates back to 2011, when EA decided not to release Battlefield 3 on Steam. It is impossible to name the exact reason, but the developers of Electronic Arts were tasked with creating a competitive game client. Origin is the result of their work.

At this stage of development, Steam and Origin resemble a huge supermarket and a small cozy store. The choice in the first is much wider, but in the second the service is more pleasant and sometimes rare goods are found. EA is targeting the CIS audience, so there are ways to pay for a game on Origin via Qiwi.

The Wikimoney website recommends taking the Lazy Investor Course, where you will learn how to get out of your financial ass and learn how to earn passive income. No enticements, only high-quality information from a practicing investor (from real estate to cryptocurrency).

Origin functionality

You can create an account and download the client on the official website.

The English version of the site opens first. You can change the language in the “Language Settings” tab (Shown in the screenshot). The Origin game client will be needed by all fans of the Electronic Arts studio. These are games from the Battlefield, FIFA, Need for Speed, Sims series. The interface in the client is made in pleasant colors.

The main functions are represented by the top tabs. There you can chat with friends, view your collection of games, or contact technical support for help. The tabs on the left are the store. From time to time, EA allows users to play their games for free, buy something at a discount, or, thanks to the new Origin Access service, get a number of benefits, such as buying a game on Origin through Qiwi at a discount. You can also play an early version of an officially unreleased new product for free.

What is Origin Access

Origin Access is new on the Russian market. This is a gaming subscription, which at a ridiculous price (249 rubles per month) can save a significant amount. There are three main advantages.

Firstly, gaining access to a large number of games. For a month of subscription, it is quite possible to complete a couple of games that would cost much more if purchased. However, it is worth making a reservation that after the subscription period expires, access to the games will be lost, so you will not be able to replay your favorite game.

Secondly, 10 percent off all Origin games. That is, by buying Battlefield Deluxe Edition for 5 thousand rubles, you can save 500 rubles, which will pay for the subscription.

Third, you can subscribe to several players at once and play online games.

Users of domestic payment systems have a question: “How to subscribe to Origin Access through Qiwi?” There are only two classic payment methods available: credit card and Paypal. You can buy a game from Qiwi in two ways: from a virtual card or directly from your wallet. The first method is suitable for those who purchase something constantly, and the second - for a single purchase. So, how to buy Origin Access through Qiwi - let's go.

Paying Origin via virtual card

The virtual Qiwi card is available to everyone. Obtaining the details is described in detail in the article: "". However, it would not be a bad idea to refresh the algorithm. In your personal account, in the settings window, you need to select the tab working with accounts.

When you click on the map, a full menu will open where you can get the missing part of the data in the message. The card is ready, now all that’s left is to link it to your account and figure out how to buy the game in Origin through Qiwi. When you open the app, you'll see "EA Account and Payments" in the bottom left corner. This is where you need to go.

A website page with account information will open. From there you should go to the “Payments and Delivery” subsection and select “Add payment”.

In the window that opens, enter the virtual card data. All information is strictly confidential, so there is no need to worry about the risk of losing money. Now there is only one step left before paying for the game on Origin via Qiwi. In the game client, you need to select the game and click buy.

You can clearly familiarize yourself with the material in the article by watching the video.

In addition to the main transaction, a small amount may appear on your bank statement within one to two days after you place a pre-order or change your saved payment method.

Many Origin users are thinking about a gaming subscription, which is what this service offers. The service meets halfway requirements for Russian-speaking players, setting both affordable prices for games and for Origin Access. How to pay for this subscription via QIWI, read below.

About subscription

Origin Access is a gaming subscription for personal computers. It provides access to a collection of PC games that you can download and play. In addition, subscribers have access to new products from Electronic Arts before their release.

The game has become an ode to the realities of humanity. Both young and old play online games; there are more options for spending time on the Internet in an interesting way than there are preferences. To gain access to high-quality gaming content, Russians subscribe to Origin Access.

Since the service is paid, its customers have to choose the most convenient payment method. There aren't many of them. Currently, Internet gambling content users have the opportunity to buy Origin Access through Qiwi. What is Origin Access, and how to pay for it using the popular payment system Qiwi?

Important! The cost of this service is 249 rubles per month.

Origin subscription is a way to save on the purchase of computer games by paying a special fee. In exchange, players get access to more than 70 games that can be played during the subscription period.

Most of them are hits from past years, but there are also many new products. And this is for only 249 rubles per month. However, there is another plus. The most important thing is a 10% discount on the entire range of the store.

Considering that new products are not cheap, the investment will pay off after the first purchase of the game for 2,500 rubles. If you buy 2-3 games a month, this is a good way to save on entertainment.

There is also a minus - as soon as the subscription expires, all 75 games that were available for free stop working. However, products purchased at a discount remain. If a bank card is connected, money will be debited from it every month to continue the subscription.

Payment via QIWI

So, you are registered in the system and want to make all calculations using its tools. This is possible if you have a Qiwi card. Virtual or material option, it doesn't matter.

The problem is that many users of the payment system did not bother to issue a card. If you intend to pay for Origin Access and buy the games you like in the future, you will have to catch up.

1. Open the QIWI website and log into your personal profile.
   
2. Go to the “Bank cards” section and click “Create a virtual QIWI Visa Card”.

4. Then go to the PayPal website and log into your personal account. This one will help with registration in the payment system.
5. Add a virtual QIWI card to your PayPal account. Select Visa and fill in the details field.
   
6. We go to the website or Origin client and make a payment.
   

Direct purchase

Origin is updated regularly. Recently, it has become possible to purchase games directly from a Qiwi wallet. Having chosen the product you like, click “Buy”. The list of available payment methods will also include Qiwi.

Click on a familiar brand and enter your wallet number, and then complete the operation by pressing the “Pay” button. The purchased game will become available after you enter the special code sent via SMS to your phone into the pop-up window. This method is not available for Access.

However, we hope that this temporary inconvenience and subsequent updates will correct the situation, making the service as convenient as possible for customers of the Qiwi payment system.

Buying good games is not a cheap pleasure, the price for hits is about $20-50, but in the conditions of the economic crisis, not everyone can afford such purchases, a subscription, which is not expensive, can be a way out of this situation. In this article we will talk about purchasing Origin Access in combination with Privat 24 and PayPal.

Many people like to play licensed games, there can be a lot of reasons, ranging from simply rewarding the developer for their efforts, receiving new updates, playing online and co-op with friends, adding to the collection of achievements, the list goes on for a long time, let’s get down to business.
