How do you say "Can I pay by card?" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use カードではらえますか (kaado de haraemasu ka) while shopping when you ask about payment methods. It works well when you want a short answer instead of a long explanation.

Chunk or pattern

• Reusable pattern: 〜 で / はらえますか
• Replace the 〜 part with the thing, place, document, item, or action you need in that scene.

Core words

• カード: card payment.

Helper words and endings

• ますか: polite question ending after a verb.
• で: often means "with," "at," or "by" depending on the phrase.

Practical note

Smaller shops and restaurants in Japan still sometimes limit payment methods, so checking first avoids awkwardness.
