Check the length of the code
The PS Plus code will always consist of 12 Digits, and so make sure your code is 12 Digits before entering the code.
Check the voucher code's region
If you have a physical voucher code, there will be a small flag in the corner of the voucher. Make sure the flag matches up with the region of your PSN account.

If you don't know what region your PSN account comes under, if you go to your Account on the PlayStation website, you can check your Account Details to see the country/region your account is registered under.
Check your account isn't a Child Account
If your account is registered as a child account, you cannot add any funds to your account. Instead you would have to go through the Family Manager account, who can add funds to the account for you, as well as set up a monthly spending limit.
Check your account funds
It may be that your voucher has already been redeemed, or that an error message displayed incorrectly and you already have the funds in your account.
