On (impersonal pronoun)
"On" is an informal way to say "we" or "people in general" and takes a third‑person singular verb.
Accepter (present tense)
The verb "accepter" is conjugated as "accepte" for the third‑person singular (il/elle/on).
Aussi (adverb)
"Aussi" means "also" or "too" and is placed before the element it modifies.
Les (definite article, plural)
"Les" is the plural definite article, used here because "cartes" is plural.
Cartes de crédit (noun phrase)
"Cartes" is a feminine plural noun; "de crédit" is a complement meaning "of credit".

✕Common Mistakes
On accepter aussi les cartes de crédit.
The verb must be conjugated to match the subject "on"; use "accepte" not the infinitive.
On accepte aussi des cartes de crédit.
If you want to say "some credit cards" you would use "des"; "les" refers to all credit cards in general.

"Aussi" should stay before the noun phrase; placing it after can change the nuance.

Cultural Tip
In France the term "carte bancaire" (bank card) is more common than "carte de crédit" because most cards are debit cards linked directly to a bank account. On formal signage you’ll often see "Nous acceptons les cartes bancaires". Using "on" sounds friendly and informal; for official notices prefer "Nous acceptons…".
