Hello

In

Notre prix se compose du prix de vente des produits figurant sur notre site xxxxxxxxx.be, à savoir le prix de base, au départ de notre magasin, en francs belges ***librement disponibles***, et sans déduction d’aucune sorte.

I suppose that this refers to the francs belges?

Does it mean in cash, by credit card etc. (maybe cheques too).

How do we say this in English?

Thanks

in circulation/freely circulating
Explanation:
Meaning the currency that is available to pay for goods and services as opposed to money held in investment vehicles or by goverments. So, you can pay in cash, by card or by bank transfer, but you can't pay using stocks, bonds, securities or the such.

As writeaway notes, the only references I found online all related to Swiss Ts&Cs. But I guess this text predates the euro.
