What are my payment options?
Credit Cards Accepted
At Micro Center stores, you can shop using your Micro Center Insider® Credit Card.* Unfortunately, the Insider Credit Card is not available to be used for online purchases.
On microcenter.com and at our Micro Center stores, you can shop using MasterCard, VISA, American Express, Discover® Network Card, Diners Club and debit cards. Micro Center Gift Cards are also accepted at any Micro Center location. Micro Center and Micro Center Online are based in the state of Ohio, USA.
* The Micro Center Insider® Credit Card is issued with approved credit by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. For your protection, Micro Center is no longer allowing Micro Center Insider® Credit Card transactions without your actual card being present. Please bring your Micro Center Insider® Credit Card into the store to enjoy our promotional offers.
Learn more about the Micro Center Insider® Card.
Credit Card Purchases
During the checkout process, you have two options:
· Pay using a credit card.
· Pay using a debit card. PLEASE NOTE: your debit card will be authorized for the total amount. If the order is cancelled, your bank or financial institution determines when the authorization hold will be released and funds made available.
Exceptions: see the articles below for exceptions involving virtual cards
Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay
Yes, we accept Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay (formerly known as Android Pay) as payment methods at all of our store locations!
Cash
In-store, we accept cash as a form of payment, however we would prefer you use credit card/debit card or Apple/Samsung/Google pay to limit contact due to CoVID. Read more about Micro Center's CoVID-19 response here.
Personal Checks
Personal checks are accepted at Micro Center® stores, provided that adequate identification is available. "Starter" checks are not accepted. Micro Center stores do NOT accept personal or business checks drawn on foreign checking accounts.
Using Multiple Forms of Payment
Yes, you can use multiple forms of payment on in-store purchases. Simply let the cashier know you will need to use multiple payment methods when making your transaction. Unfortunately, Micro Center is unable to accept multiple forms of payment for Micro Center Online (Shipping) Orders.

Need to pick up an item for my brother's birthday today. I placed the order online, but I don't see it in my order history on Microcenter.com and I never received any confirmation email that I even placed it. My store sends my call to voicemail, and text messages are not being answered, and chat is all offline.
Help?

Why don't you accept paypal?
-
@Blight
Good afternoon and thank you for your question regarding payment forms accepted. I apologize Micro Center does not accept PayPal due to not being a payment source that is accepted by the system we use for transactions. -
Am I correct that the Micrcenter Insider Card can NOT be used to order item online for shipping???
-
@PCMedic that is correct. Microcenter Insider Cards can only be processed by out POS system in store only.
-
are you guys taking cash *yet*?
-
Yes, you may pay by cash, this was reverted quite awhile ago.
-
sorry, this was a top level suggested thread on bing (gotta get them points!). and nothing from the microcenter website from the bing search indicated strongly that they were.
thanks for the answer!

No worries, the best information we have can be found at https://community.microcenter.com/kb/articles/170-what-forms-of-payment-can-i-use for this. We will work on clarifying this post and other pages ASAP.

Question, if I put in a store pick up with my digital pay pal card can I still use the code when I go pick it up and my phone signed in as proof? I read the exceptions but I'm still not sure.
-
Good Morning @fjt1496
For this we would not be able to use a digital card as they will need to have a physical card in store to swipe to process the payment there.

Is any more detail available on why the MC Insider card isn’t allowed for online MC purchases?
Especially during a pandemic, it would really help to use online ordering without losing that 5% bonus. =)

Hi @McMike
I haven't heard any specifics just yet. I believe it may be due to some of the policies in place with Wells Fargo, but I have no certainty of this.
I'll pass this up to see if I can get a more certain answer about this topic!
-
Is there a possibility that Klarna/Afterpay etc. will ever be accepted at Micro Center?
-
Hello, I'm not aware of any changes to these policies at this time. If there are any changes, they will be posted to our website when available.
-
After reading the post/article on accepted payment methods, I noticed there was no finance option (like pay for product and make monthly payments - like ack best buy). Are there any plans to branch out to this form of payment?
-
Good afternoon @Prince_Alarming
Thank you for contacting micro center. At this time we do not offer any direct financing options in store. however if you do have our micro center credit card, there are financing options with that depending on the item you are purchasing.

There's some confusion and nobody noticed, Apple pay, Samsung pay you can add any card to it and purchase with it. So yes you can use PayPal virtual card in your apple pay and samsung wallet and check out at the store. For financing attach your credit card same way to apple pay or samsung pay a.k.a wallet and do check out at the store and online.
