Signification
Asking if card payment is accepted.
Contexte culturel
Korea is one of the most card-friendly countries. Even for a 1,000 KRW ($0.75) pack of gum, people use cards. Asking '카드 돼요?' is often just a formality. In places like Gwangjang Market, cash is king. Some vendors might give you an extra dumpling if you pay cash. This is where '카드 돼요?' is most necessary. Samsung Pay and Kakao Pay are everywhere. You can ask '삼성페이 돼요?' or '카카오페이 돼요?' just like you ask about physical cards. The Korean government gives tax refunds for card spending. This is why locals almost always prefer cards and always ask for a receipt ({現|현}{金|금}{領|영}{收|수}{證|증}) if they pay cash.
The 'Nayo' Nuance
Using '카드 되나요?' instead of '카드 돼요?' makes you sound much more like a native speaker who is being considerate.
Check the Terminal
If you see a 'Samsung Pay' or 'Apple Pay' sticker, you don't even need to ask. Just hold up your phone!

Small Amounts
If the total is under 1,000 KRW, try to use cash if possible, even though cards are accepted. It's a nice gesture.
