¿Aceptan tarjetas?

When to use

Ask this before you start shopping or when you are ready to pay to ensure they accept your preferred payment method, like credit cards.

How it works

This uses the verb 'aceptar' (to accept) in the third-person plural present indicative, asking if 'they' (the establishment) accept cards.

• ¿Aceptan?: 'Do they/you all accept?', third-person plural present of 'aceptar'.
• tarjetas: 'cards', feminine plural noun.

Formality

This phrase is neutral and can be used in any shopping context. The plural verb refers to the establishment or staff collectively, rather than addressing a specific individual.

Notes

Ask before reaching the register. Neutral everyday wording.
