Decision summary
Wholesale wallet-code guidance for game key distributors: exact account-region SKUs, denomination fields, batch records and the direct PS Plus supply boundary.
PSN Wholesale supplies PlayStation Store wallet-credit codes, not direct PS Plus subscription codes. Map each exact account region, currency label and denomination to the distributor’s SKU namespace and batch ledger; keep supplier order and delivery references intact.
Decision fields
Map PSN regions to distributor territories and seller channels.
Separate wallet-credit codes from externally sourced PS Plus subscriptions. Keep exact account regions, currency labels and denominations distinct.
Keep supplier delivery records connected to downstream channel orders.
Route claims from channel order ID back to batch ID and evidence.
Supplier-to-feed crosswalk
Translate supplier records into the downstream feed without flattening product, region, or batch meaning. The feed should preserve the source value and its review state; an unknown field stays unknown until the owner verifies it.
| Supplier source field | Internal canonical field | Downstream feed and qa check |
|---|---|---|
| Product type | PlayStation Store wallet-credit code; keep account region, currency and denomination separate. Direct PS Plus codes are not offered by PSN Wholesale. | Feed title, category, and filters use the same product type; catalog owner approves changes. |
| Account region and currency label | Exact quoted region plus the source currency label; do not substitute a broad geography. | Listing, checkout, and support copy match; region owner checks account compatibility wording. |
| Denomination or tier/duration | Normalized value fields with the original source text retained for audit. | No value is rounded or converted without a recorded approval and source date. |
| Quote and order reference | Supplier quote version, order ID, and review timestamp. | Feed revision can be traced back to the approved quote; stale versions are held. |
| Batch and delivery record | batch ID, allocated quantity, delivery reference, and status owner. | Partner feed never exposes raw codes; support can map a channel order to the batch ledger. |
| Availability state | Current status from the approved catalog or quote, with checked-at date. | Unknown or unverified status is not labelled in stock; channel owner confirms before publishing. |
Handoff rule: the supplier record is the source for current values, while the distributor feed is a controlled projection. Keep the source reference and reviewer with every published revision.
Distributor rollout workflow
Choose regions where downstream sellers already have customer demand.
Make product type and region visible across distributor feeds.
Restrict raw inventory while sharing metadata with channel support.
Add territories after delivery and claim routing are stable.
Channel distribution mistakes
- Do not syndicate unlabeled regional inventory to channel partners.
- Do not mix multiple supplier batches without batch-level reconciliation.
- Do not let channel claims bypass evidence requirements.
