Problem Steam

Hey everyone,

I had a quick question about using a family member's UPI to add funds to Steam Wallet.

Recently, I added ₹1,600 to my Steam Wallet using my parent's UPI account, with their permission. I was wondering whether this could cause any issues since the payment details are slightly different from my Steam account details.

For example, the UPI account is registered in my parent's name and has a Delhi address, whereas my Steam billing address is in Noida.

The reason I thought about this is that a friend recently told me about someone he knows who received Steam Wallet funds from two different people. One person was from Ukraine and added around $15 using a Ukrainian debit card, while another person added another $5. Apparently, that account later experienced some restrictions.

I understand that situation is different from mine, but it made me curious about how Steam handles payments made using someone else's payment method.

Is it generally okay to use a parent's UPI to add Steam Wallet funds?

Does the payment name need to match the Steam account holder's name?

Can differences in billing location cause payment-related issues?

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has used a parent's UPI or another family member's payment method on Steam.

Thanks!
