I'm stateside, but I've had lots of success paying for things online and at places in person that want a credit card by just giving my debit card (and not saying anything, ofc).

That being said, YMMV.

If you're in the US, your debit card is likely a Visa or Mastercard debit card.

I'm in the UK, and every debit card I've ever had has been a Visa or Mastercard

For contrast, I'm Swiss, and all of my debit cards have either been Maestro or PostFinance (in Switzerland, the Postal Service runs a bank which maintains its own debit card scheme).

Maestro is technically a MasterCard debit card, but I'm not aware of a possibility to use it for online payments. VPay (i.e. "proper" VISA debit) is starting to make inroads.
