In my experience, sites aren't implementing their own credit card payments. Paypal and Stripe are common, and there are a couple of local payment portals as well.

If it's not one of those I probably wouldn't use it, but in general it would never be the case that you can't pay with a credit card, where as PayPal is probably an option 1/3 of the time.
