What is different between debit and credit?
the main difference between debit and credit are how they are processed. when you use debit you will be asked to enter a "personal" pin or code. debit transactions have a limit of how many times you've used your debit card that day. when you use credit you are protected from liability. if someone steals your credit card, and you report it, you will not be liable for their credit transactions. so you are less protected if you use credit over debit. for Debit you can spent your maximum money in your balance bank account. but if if credit card, this is like a loans or there's maximum balance in your credit.
What is the difference between a debit card and a credit card?
A debit card takes money directly from your account. A credit card takes the money from the credit card company, and the credit card company will bill you in monthly installments until you pay them back (plus interest). A debit card is like paying in cash, without actually having the cash on you. A credit card is similar to taking a small loan.
Can a debit card purchase go through if you run it as credit but don't have funds on card?
No purchase can go through if you don't have funds on the card. Regardless of whether it's a credit or debit card, both have limits that mean the same thing: "You don't have funds, ya' broke toolbox, declined..." The limit for your debit card is a floor of 0, the limit of your non-existent credit card seems to be a ceiling of 0, but could be much higher if you weren't as dense as your question implies you are.
