How do subscription payments work?
When you subscribe to a service (such as PS Plus) the wallet function ‘Automatically Add Funds to Renew Subscriptions or Pay for Pre-ordered Content’ is switched on. This function allows your linked payment method to be debited if your PSN wallet does not have sufficient funds for a payment.
You can switch off automatic funding or cancel a subscription at any time.
