How to Change Your Payment Method on DoorDash After Placing an Order
Last updated
Ever found yourself in a pickle, wondering how to switch your payment method on DoorDash after you’ve already hit the ‘order’ button? You’re not alone! It’s a common question for many DoorDash users.
Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of changing your payment method on DoorDash, even after you’ve placed an order.
Can You Change It? Yes, But There’s a Catch
DoorDash does allow you to change your payment method, but there’s a little catch. You can only make this change before the restaurant starts preparing your food. Once preparation begins, your payment method is locked in.
This policy makes sense. Imagine you’re running a restaurant; it would be tricky to juggle finances if customers kept changing their payment methods mid-preparation!
How to Make the Switch
To change your payment method, go to your DoorDash app and find your current order. Here, if the restaurant hasn’t started preparing your food, you’ll see an option to modify your order, including the payment method. Tap it, select your new preferred payment option, and voilà – you’re set!
Remember, if you miss this window, you’ll need to stick with your original payment method for this order. But don’t worry! For future orders, you can select or add new payment methods easily before checkout.
