Payment options

At IKEA, we think everyone deserves a well-designed, functional home – and that paying for it shouldn’t be difficult. That’s why we have multiple payment options for in-store and online shopping, including financial services for when you need a little extra help, which you’ll find on this page.

How to pay at IKEA

Whether you’re buying a new kitchen or just an IKEA hot dog, there are plenty of payment options. Which one is the best for you depends on where you’re shopping – and what you’re buying. ​

Paying at an IKEA store

We accept all major credit cards, mobile payments like Apple Pay or Google Pay, and cash for instant payments in our stores. But we know that sometimes, you need help bringing your dreams to life. That’s why we offer financial services to as well as an IKEA Gift card, which you can use when shopping in store. ​​
