Credit cards & payments

Check a supported payment method, understand success or failure and ask for a practical alternative.

By the end of this lesson

Complete a payment and respond to a declined card or cash-only reply.

Distinguish a failed transaction from a shop that does not accept cards, and recognise payment confirmation.

Say this now

Can I pay by credit card?

Say as a manjàai dûai bàt khree dìt dâai mǎi khrápจ่ายด้วยบัตรเครดิตได้ไหมครับ

Say as a womanjàai dûai bàt khree dìt dâai mǎi kháจ่ายด้วยบัตรเครดิตได้ไหมคะ

Amounts are invented practice examples. QR payment needs a supported app/provider; ask the shop what it accepts. Example replies describe this fictional shop, not a universal policy.

Sentence shape: Pay by credit card → can I? → polite ending.
