If you shop at an Advance Auto Parts store, you can use several payment methods there including cash, checks, credit cards, and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. It’s noteworthy that some other auto parts stores don’t accept personal checks but this one does. You can also shop online at Advance Auto Parts and its online store accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.

But unlike many other stores, this auto parts store only accepts credit cards from US banks. While stores that accept Discover can accept cards from international banks in the JCB and UnionPay networks because of the payment networks’ partnership agreements, the decision to accept an international credit card is still up to the store.
