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 use:
    • 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.

  • The DMM Roulette game is also shown, as it can reward some free DMM points.

Via PayPal

PayPal is the main third-party monetary handling service, and is the main recommended option for overseas online payment.

To use it:

  1. Open an account via PayPal's own website, and add a money source of choice.


  1. Follow the instructions on the image to the left on how to use the code
    • Go to the DMM home page and click on your Personal/Customer Info
    • On the menu to the left, click on Add DMM Money
    • Select WebMoney from the choices
    • Click on the Confirm button
    • Enter the amount you're adding, and confirm
    • Confirm again until you encounter the Code form
    • Enter the WebMoney Code (16 characters) and confirm

Via Credit Card

Security Tips
  • Be careful when using 3rd party software like VPN when trying to input card details,
  • Always check that the website where card details are put is "https",
  • In European countries, a double verification system can relieve most of the risks of online payments by card.

FAQ

Does DMM accept all Cards?

No. Most foreign cards won't be accepted.

  • In the case the card is accepted, the amount spent will be deducted from the bank account within 2 weeks.

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.

Using a 3rd party software may interfere with the confirmation process.

  • In this case, just disable it temporarily to conduct the purchase.
