won't show option to purchase with credit card

[Monyz]

I'm trying to purchase a new bundle in marvel rivals (the 3$ one) but when i select to purchase the only option to pay is with my steam wallet. and i would have to add funds (which the minimum is only 5$) any chance i can do the purchase directly with my cc??

You must use wallet funds for this type of in game purchase.

This is how in-game purchases work.

In-Game Purchase Requirements

For any in-game purchases, you'll need to use the microtransaction API so Steam customers can only make purchases from the Steam Wallet. You can learn more about how to complete this integration in the Microtransactions Implementation Guide.

You can use the Steam Wallet to purchase individual items or to purchase your in-game currency.

Its mostly to avoid issues with chargebacks. Especially since in-game purchases may be used for one off things like xp boosts or such, and you cant really claw that back from people. Using steam wallet mostly just protects steam from charge backs causing issues for developers
