How DoorDash Payments Work for Customers

DoorDash makes it easy to order from your favorite local restaurants inside the app.

Part of how the service offers this convenience is by saving and automatically applying different payment methods in the app.

Before ordering on the DoorDash app, it asks for a payment method.

You must add in one or more preferred methods.

Then, when you check out, the app asks which of your saved payment methods you would like to use.

Simply choose which one you would like to use, and the app applies the payment method to the order and processes the transaction for you.

You don’t have to worry about exchanging money when the food arrives.

You can even tip the restaurant and the driver inside the app, so even that part of the delivery can be skipped over when the driver arrives.

DoorDash charges a delivery fee for orders, but that fee covers the actual delivery, as well as all of the automation offered by the DoorDash app.

What Payment Methods Does DoorDash Accept?

To make the platform as accessible as possible, DoorDash allows customers to pay with various payment methods.

Cash (in Some Circumstances)

Some customers request a “Cash on Delivery” payment option, which only works on certain orders.

Rather than using a saved payment method, the customer pays the driver with cash when they deliver the order.

You’ll still pay the delivery fees to the driver alongside the total cost of your order.

Just ensure you are home and available when the Dasher comes to your house, so they don’t have to wait long for the payment.

Credit or Debit Card

If you have a credit or debit card saved on the DoorDash app, you can apply it to your order.

When you do so, DoorDash charges the associated card for the cost of the order upon completion.

You can add, remove, and change credit card and debit card information as needed from the mobile app.

Google or Apple Pay

DoorDash also accepts both Google and Apple Pay when you complete your order.

Using one of these payment methods will allow DoorDash to charge either of these services for the cost of the order, using any account balance or pay methods associated with Google or Apple.

PayPal

Much like Google Pay and Apple Pay, you can use PayPal to handle the costs of your food orders on DoorDash.

Any payment methods or bank accounts associated with PayPal will be used for the payments, depending on your preferences in your PayPal settings.

Gift Card

DoorDash offers gift cards for its platform, allowing you to receive DoorDash credit as a gift.

Or, you can pick up DoorDash gift cards to keep from having to assign a payment method for a one-time order off DoorDash.
