Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to pay for a pair of shoes in dollars online with a French credit card.

    Hello
    it's entirely possible, you will simply be charged the equivalent in euros at the time of the transaction; however, banks (which never do anything for free) will take between 2% and 3% of the total for their "fees," sometimes with a minimum of 1 euro, and some even push the envelope by setting a fixed rate + the variable rate.
    Normally, your bank sends you the rates for its services each year, you should be able to find the exact rate there.

      Hello,
      For your information, I made a purchase on AliExpress with a Visa for $11.8
      The conversion rate gives about €10 and on my LCL account I was charged €12..
      Nothing serious given the amount, but looking at it, that's over +20%!
