How Long Can You Be Inactive on DoorDash Before Deactivation?
Last updated
Ever wonder how long you can take a break from DoorDash without losing your account? You’re not alone; it’s a hot topic among dashers.
Today, let’s dive into the specifics of being inactive on DoorDash and what it means for your account status.
Short Answer: It’s Complicated
DoorDash doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all answer for how long dashers can stay inactive. The company values flexibility, so there isn’t a strict cut-off point.
However, if you haven’t dashed in a very long time, think several months to a year, DoorDash might mark your account as inactive. They do this to ensure their dasher base remains active and ready to deliver.
Keeping Your Account Active
To stay in the clear, simply accepting and completing a delivery every now and then should keep your account from being marked as inactive. DoorDash understands life gets busy, and they cater to part-timers too.
Remember, staying active doesn’t just mean logging in; you actually need to complete deliveries. And if you’re ever unsure, checking in with DoorDash support can give you peace of mind.
