If you're asking whether you should say pay by my credit card, no. That would be incorrect. You could, however, say pay with my credit card.

Just be sure not to misspell 'credit'.

There are multiple ways of wording this.

Can I pay by credit card?
Can I pay with my credit card?
Can I put it on my credit card?
Do you take credit cards?
Credit card OK? (Casual but perfectly understandable.)

There aren't many places that accept debit cards but refuse credit cards so generally I wouldn't bother even with "credit".

Can I put it on my card?
Do you take cards?
Can I pay by card?

Standing at the counter in a mall, can we also say 'Will credit card do'?

The meaning is clear, but that's not a natural context for will an xxx do?

Is 'will do' used in statements only?

No, but it means "suffice", not "be accepted". For example, suppose the bill comes to $16.00 and you hand the cashier a twenty. She says "I'm running low on singles. Do you have a dollar bill?" You check your wallet and don't find one, but you do have some coins. You might say "Would four quarters do?"

I know you're focusing on British English, but I hope you don't mind the American vocabulary I've used here.
