TL;DR
Card terminals are not universal in Nha Trang — cash or QR payment is often preferred, and exchanging cash gives a better rate.
Card terminals are far from universal, and even where they exist, vendors often prefer cash or QR payment. It's best to treat your card as a backup rather than the primary payment method. Exchanging cash also tends to give a better rate than paying by card.
It's possible to get through two weeks in Nha Trang without withdrawing cash — QR-based payments and card terminals cover most situations, though terminals are not available everywhere.
Foreign cards work in roughly 95% of places that have payment terminals. The main limitation is simply the absence of terminals, not card acceptance issues.
