This is a service made available in the last quarter of 2017 by the e-commerce platform. The Recharge at Cashier service allows you to use your account balance to make purchases, as it can be recharged in cash. Where can you buy recharges? Simple, at sisal's Pago points or at affiliated stores. Available denominations range from €15 to €500.
Here's what you need to do:
- - First you have to find the Sisal store closest to you by connecting to the Sisal website, enter the name of your city in the "Nearby" text field, type the Amazon Refill query in the field, choose a product or service and click, finally, on the "Search" button. You will then see a map with the outlets located in your area:

Click on the Sign In button.
- - Now click on the"Gift Vouchers" button (at the top under the search bar) and, on the page that opens, click on the "Refill - Cash" item that you will find in the menu on the left (in the Your Account category).

- - Now you can finally get the barcode by simply clicking on the "Send my barcode by SMS" button and open it by selecting the link that Amazon has sent you by SMS.
- - If, on the other hand, you want to print the barcode then you simply click on the "Print my barcode" button and print it from the page that opens in the Amazon recharge-enabled browser, show it to the operator and pay for the recharge in cash. The amount of the top-up you will make will be added to your Amazon account, which you can view by logging in to your Amazon account, clicking on the "Account and lists" item (above), and then on the "Gift Certificates and Top-Up" section.
