Introduction

Every items in the in-game Shop are bought using "golden bauxite", which is a 1 to 1 "DMM Points" conversion, the currency used on the DMM websites, itself a 1 to 1 Yen (¥) conversion.

This guide is made to help purchase DMM points to be used in the Kancolle shop.

Step 1: Purchase DMM Points

Since mid-2022, DMM services do not accept most foreign credit/debit cards, especially Mastercard ones.

It is therefore recommended to use either:
- DMM credit card, for Japan only, which gives a 10% free point bonus on purchase,
- Compatible credit cards, such as some Visa ones, which give a 1% free point bonus on purchase,
- PayPal, which can bypass most credit cards limitations,
- DMM point cards, which are items that give a code to be activated on the DMM website, being available in Japan and on some websites.

As DMM credit cards and DMM point cards are mostly limited to Japan only, this guide only covers the PayPal and Credit Card options.

An error occurred when inputting the Credit Card!

Sometimes a card will not be accepted for all sorts of reasons. It is best to collect as much information as possible, and always double-check if the information input is correct.

Does DMM allow refunds?

It may be possible to get a refund when unsubscribing from their site.

Why is there no purchase popup after buying an item? The page just seems to hang.
