In detail
The Nintendo eShop card (Canada) is a 16-character prepaid code that funds your Canadian Nintendo account balance in Canadian dollars. Once redeemed, the credit is available immediately and spends like any other payment method on the Canadian Nintendo eShop. Pick the amount that suits you from the denominations above. Don't mix the two up: Canada and the United States are separate Nintendo regions. This card is denominated in Canadian dollars and will not work on a US account, even though both show a dollar sign. What you can buy with your balance: - Full game downloads on Switch and Switch 2 - DLC, add-ons and season passes - Pre-orders - In-game currency and extra content - A Nintendo Switch Online membership It's the quick, simple alternative to a bank card for buying on the Nintendo eShop. With SODACARDS you receive your code immediately after payment is confirmed. No Canadian bank card, no foreign account, no waiting. Every code is brand new, never used, and is revealed both in your customer dashboard and by email. Why buy from us: - Instant code delivery, 7 days a week - Multiple payment options: mobile money, crypto or bank card - 100% genuine codes sourced from official distributors - WhatsApp customer support if you run into any redemption issue - Several denominations available to match your budget Before you buy: - This card only works on a Nintendo account whose country is set to Canada. It does not work on a US, European or British account. - Critical point, and stricter in this region than in Europe: while your account holds any eShop balance, you cannot change its country at all. Nintendo blocks the change until the balance is exactly zero. - The credit goes to the account signed in at the moment you confirm. There is no way to reverse it. - The balance cannot be exchanged for cash and cannot be transferred to another Nintendo account. - The code can only be used once, and only for its full value. - A brand new Nintendo account must have opened the eShop at least once on a console before it can redeem a code from the web. - Nintendo will not replace a code that is lost, stolen or used without your authorisation.
How to use it
Before you start: check your Nintendo account's country. Sign in at accounts.nintendo.com and look at your profile information. The country must be Canada. Warning: if your account already holds a balance, you will not be able to change its country until it reaches zero. Nintendo blocks the change entirely in this region. ON NINTENDO SWITCH AND SWITCH 2 1. From the main menu, open the Nintendo eShop. 2. Select your profile in the top right of the screen. 3. Scroll to "Redeem Code". 4. Carefully enter your 16-character code. 5. Confirm. The amount is added to your balance right away. FROM A WEB BROWSER 1. Go to ec.nintendo.com/redeem. 2. Sign in to the Canadian Nintendo account you want to credit. 3. Check the account name shown before continuing. 4. Enter your 16-character code and confirm. If you have just created your Nintendo account, open the eShop once on your console first. Without that, web redemption will be refused. CHECK YOUR BALANCE Your balance appears in the top right of the Nintendo eShop screen. Tip: the code is 16 characters. Watch out for lookalike characters, especially O and zero, or capital I and the digit 1. Paste from your order email rather than retyping. If the code is rejected, check your Nintendo account's country first, then contact our WhatsApp support with your order number.
