I am not sure how to answer your question since it seems to be incomplete. However, credit cards can be used on almost all purchases online. Of course, there are other ways of paying online aside from credit cards. Personally, I use my credit cards for purchases from reputable online stores such as Amazon, airline companies, hotels and others.

PayPal can be safer to use because the credit card information is sent to paypal rather than directly to the company or person you are paying.
