Paying by Credit Card
Barnes & Noble.com accepts MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Visa, Diners Club, JCB, and corporate purchasing cards. On the Payment page, select the card type you want to use and then enter your card number, expiration date, and, if your card has one, the card security code.
Paying by Barnes & Noble Gift Card or Gift Certificate
Enter the Gift Card or Gift Certificate number and the PIN (the 4-digit number also located on your Gift Card or Certificate) on the Payment page. (Please note: Some Gift Cards and Gift Certificates do not have a PIN.) If the balance available on your Gift Card or Gift Certificate is less than the total cost of your order, you will be asked to provide credit card information or select Pay by Phone.
Paying with PayPal®
On the Payment page, select PayPal as your method of payment. You will be redirected to PayPal's web site to confirm the financial details of the transaction. Once you confirm your payment via PayPal, you will return to Barnes & Noble.com to finish placing your order.
PayPal is a safe and easy way to make a secure online payment. It allows online shoppers to enter and store credit card and billing information in one place, thereby eliminating the need to store and update this information on multiple sites.

Paying with a Purchase Order Account
Barnes & Noble.com accepts purchase orders from corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations that purchase large volumes of books annually.

If your application is approved, we will contact you with instructions about how to place purchase orders with Barnes & Noble.com. Note: Purchase orders are not accepted for PC & Video Games.
If you have an Institutional or Corporate Account with a Barnes & Noble retail store, that account cannot be used online with Barnes & Noble.com. You must complete a separate purchase order account application with Barnes & Noble.com.
