Herein, how do I use my debit card as credit?

Secondly, how do I use my debit card as credit online? If you're paying for something online, you can typically use your debit card just like a credit card. You don't need to specify that you want to use a debit card (just select the "pay with credit card" option).
Then, can I use my Visa debit card as credit?
Yes and no. You can indeed use a debit card at all of the same places that you can use a credit card, and you have the option of signing for debit card purchases rather than using a PIN.
Can you swipe a debit card with a chip?
No worries – the terminal will guide you. If you enter a card into a chip-reader slot that hasn't been activated, it'll prompt you to swipe your card. Likewise, if you try swiping instead of inserting into an activated chip-reader, you'll be prompted to dip your card instead.
