Usage notes
- Use pagamento for the act or method of paying; use stipendio or salario for regular wages, not pagamento in most job contexts.
- Common with di: pagamento in contanti, pagamento con carta. Don't say *pagamento per contanti for 'cash payment'.
- In shops and invoices, pagamento sounds neutral to formal; pagare is more common in everyday speech.
