PlayStation wallet funds are the balance you add to your PlayStation Store account either through a credit/debit card, PayPal, or redeeming a PlayStation gift card. These funds can be used to purchase games, DLC, and subscriptions. Conversely, PlayStation gift cards are physical or digital cards that contain a specific amount of money or a subscription to PlayStation Plus or Now. Once redeemed, the value of the gift card is added to your wallet funds, ready for use.
