How to Add a Payment Method to DoorDash
Now that we’ve gone over the types of payment methods you can use, let’s discuss how to add a payment method to your DoorDash account.
Open the DoorDash app and sign in to your account.
Step by Step Instructions
Click on the profile icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
The profile account page will show a menu of options.

Choose which type of payment method you want to use.
For credit cards, enter your credit card info.
If you’re using PayPal, simply click on the “Link your PayPal account” button.
DoorDash will then direct you to the PayPal login page where you can enter your email address and password.
Once you’re logged in, DoorDash will have access to your PayPal account.
If you want to use a gift card, click on the “Add Gift Card” button and enter the 16-digit number located on the back of the card.
It’s that simple to add a payment method to your DoorDash account.
Make sure to click on the “confirm” button after entering each payment method.
Otherwise, the app won’t finalize the addition.
If needed, you can use a different payment method when you’re in the middle of placing an order.
Just click on the “Add Payment Method” button located at the bottom of the screen.
Then, follow the instructions above.
Another way to do this is by visiting your DoorDash account online.
Go to DoorDash.com, click to sign in, enter your login credentials, and look at the top left area of your account.
Click on the three horizontal lines in that area.
You’ll next see a page with options that include the following.
- Home
- Orders
- Pickup
- Offers
- Account
- Payment
- Gift cards
- Privacy
Select the “Payment” option.
Similar to the app, DoorDash directs you to a page with a list of options for payment.
Select whether you want to add a debit card, PayPal, a gift card, or a credit card.
Add that payment method’s details and click on “confirm”.
How Many Payment Methods Can You Have on DoorDash?
You can enter several payment methods into your DoorDash account for added flexibility.
For example, you might enter two credit cards, PayPal, and a DoorDash gift card.
That way, you can use whatever form of payment is most convenient at the time.
You can have multiple payment methods saved to your account, but DoorDash only allows you to link one PayPal account.
Can You Pay With Two Payment Methods?
No, you cannot split the cost of an order between two payment methods.
When you place an order, DoorDash prompts you to choose one form of payment.
The app then charges the entire amount to that method.
Group orders represent one extra layer of flexibility you might use.
With group orders, you can send a special link to several people.
They can choose their order from the restaurant’s menu and add it to the group order.
One person pays for the entire order with their DoorDash account.
Everyone in the group can reimburse that person through Venmo, PayPal, or another app.
Maximum Number of Saved Cards
While there isn’t an exact limit on how many cards you can save, DoorDash says that they may limit the number of saved cards “for security reasons.”
What Payment Methods Does DoorDash Accept?
DoorDash gives you plenty of options regarding paying for its services.
Let’s discuss the forms of payment methods you can connect to your DoorDash account.
Credit Cards
DoorDash accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit cards.
Most people own one or all of these types of credit cards.
You can choose to upload one credit card into the DoorDash app.
Or, you can load multiple credit cards to your account.
Adding more than one gives you flexibility.
If one of your Visa credit cards is close to its limit, simply switch to your Discover or American Express to get your next food order delivered to your doorstep.
Debit Cards
For debit cards, DoorDash accepts Visa and Mastercard.
Similar to the credit card option, you can add multiple debit cards to your DoorDash account.
You can also include a mixture of credit cards and debit cards.
PayPal
PayPal is also an accepted form of payment on DoorDash.
If you have a PayPal account, you can link it to your DoorDash account and pay for your orders that way.
Some people prefer to upload all their credit cards and debit cards to PayPal.
From there, you can tell PayPal which card to use on any individual DoorDash order.
You might find it safer to allow PayPal to know only your debit card and credit card numbers.
