Using a Visa gift card on Steam is pretty straightforward. Just go to your account details (by clicking on your username in the top-right corner), then click on 'Add a payment method'. Choose to 'Add a credit card' and enter your Visa gift card details there. Remember, you'll have to register the gift card online if it's not already activated for online transactions. Steam's checkout should accept it just like any other Visa card after that.

Hot take: Just treat it like a regular Visa card, but make sure there's enough balance for what you wanna buy. Steam doesn't care if it's gift or credit, as long as it works!

You might run into trouble if your Visa gift card has less than the total purchase amount, due to how pre-authorization works. Best to ensure the card covers your entire purchase, or add it to your Steam Wallet balance first.

I've used a Visa gift card on Steam before! Just make sure your card has enough balance for your purchase, and enter it as a credit card when you are about to pay. Had no issues at all, works like a charm.
