Quick answer
Genesis Crystals are the premium currency in Genshin Impact, a free-to-play open-world action RPG set in the land of Teyvat. The App Store lists Genesis Crystals in several sizes, and you buy them with real money. You can buy packs in the in-game store, or through Packsify: sign up in the app, load credits in your own currency and send a screenshot of the pack you want. We buy that exact pack for you through the official Apple or Google store, usually with 10 to 30% more pack value for the same budget, depending on the game, your currency and how you pay. A 99.99 USD pack is 10,000 credits, and the minimum cart is 500 credits.

Updated November 2026

Short answer: You can top up Genshin Impact two ways. Buy packs in the in-game store with your Apple or Google account, or order the same pack through Packsify. Packsify buys the pack you pick through the official Apple or Google store, and you see every step in the app. You usually get 10 to 30% more pack value for the same budget, depending on the game, your currency and how you pay.

What Genshin Impact players buy

Genesis Crystals are the premium currency in Genshin Impact, a free-to-play open-world action RPG set in the land of Teyvat. The App Store lists Genesis Crystals in several sizes, and you buy them with real money.

  • Genesis Crystals in five sizes: the App Store lists 300 for $4.99, 980 for $14.99, 1,980 for $29.99, 3,280 for $49.99 and 6,480 for $99.99. There is also a 60 pack for $0.99.
  • Bundles: the App Store also lists the Blessings Bundle ($4.99), Gnostic Hymn ($9.99), Gnostic Chorus ($19.99) and Intertwined Fate x10 ($21.99).

Store contents change with updates, so always read the store screen in game before you buy.

Packsify buys the packs you pick. A pack bought in the in-game store and the same pack bought through Packsify are exactly the same in your game.

We can buy almost every pack in your store, event packs included. A few monthly passes can't be bought, and we tell you before you pay.

What you pay with Packsify

Example: the $99.99 amount, 6,480 Genesis Crystals. The Genshin Impact page shows the price for any amount you pick.

Store prices differ by country, and more currencies are in the app. Revolut and USDT/USDC have no fee. Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay add a fee at checkout.

Route A: top up in the Genshin Impact store

  1. Open Genshin Impact and go to the store.
  2. Pick the pack you want.
  3. Pay with the Apple or Google account on your device.
  4. You get the pack right away.

This is simple and safe. You pay the store price.

Route B: top up Genshin Impact through Packsify

  1. Sign up in the Packsify app. If the game supports binding, bind your game account first.
  2. Load credits in your own currency. Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer, Revolut or USDT/USDC. Revolut and USDT/USDC have no processing fee. The minimum cart is 500 credits.
  3. Pick the Genesis Crystals amount in the app. It shows our team exactly what to buy.
  4. We buy that exact amount for you through the official Apple or Google store.
  5. Follow every step live in the app, until your order is done.

Load credits and send your first Genshin Impact order

When to buy: before the event, not during it

The biggest gain in Genshin Impact spending is timing. The same pack bought for an event window does more than the same pack bought mid-week.

  • New versions: The App Store lists Version 7.2, "Hour of Ruin", with new characters, new areas and new events. Load credits first, then order when a version goes live.
  • New characters and weapons: The 7.2 notes list new characters and a new weapon, so plan your Genesis Crystals before the update.
  • Events: The 7.2 notes list new events, so check what is running and order before it ends.

How a Packsify order stays safe

Every pack is bought through the official Apple App Store or Google Play, the same path you use on your own device. From the game side it looks like any standard purchase, because that is what it is.

Your recovery email and phone stay untouched, and you can follow every step of your order in the app.

Packsify has done this since 2021, with a 0 bans record and 4.9 on Trustpilot. Read the details in how we keep accounts safe.
