Can a store accept third party checks?

They CAN, but very few DO accept "third party" checks. A "third-party" check is a check that someone else wrote to you, and now you're trying to get a third party - the merchant - to accept it. Most merchants refuse to accept them, because if the check bounces, you as the purchaser aren't on the hook for the value. Back in the day when most people were honest, there wasn't much of a risk. Now, when there's a significant minority of people who are NOT honest, there's too much risk. If somebody else wrote a check to you, then you should deposit it in your account, or take it to that person's bank to have it cashed. Don't expect the merchant to also provide banking services to you.

Contrast this with a two party check in which one person or company writes a check to a second person or company, or a three party check in which one person or company writes a check to a second person or company and a third party guarantees some part of the check (usually the funds).
