DoorDash has expanded to offer services as a delivery partner for many businesses, including restaurants, fast food chains and even cafes. With this comes the opportunity for you to earn money by delivering food for them. The only catch is that you will need to provide a valid payment method so that they can pay you.
Depending on the location of your gigs, you will be given different methods of payment such as cash or an electronic payment app like Venmo or PayPal.
However, if those are not available to you or if you later change your preferred payment method, you’ll need to update your DoorDash account with another or secondary payment method. Here’s how to change the Payment Information on DoorDash after placing an order.
How to Change Your Payment Information on DoorDash after placing an order
If you don’t yet have a preferred payment method set up, you’ll have to log into your DoorDash account and select one prior to completing your first order. As mentioned above, you will be provided with different methods of payment depending on the type of service you signed up for.
For example, if you signed up to perform deliveries for a restaurant, your preferred payment method may be cash. However, if you signed up to deliver for a fast food chain, you may be given the option to use an electronic payment app such as Venmo or PayPal. Regardless of which service you offer, it’s important that you update your DoorDash account with another payment method in the event you can’t use the ones provided.
By Venmo Account
If you sign up for the Venmo Payment method on DoorDash, your Venmo account will automatically be your new default payment method. You can change your preferred payment method by logging into your Venmo account and navigating to the Payment Information section. Here you can select a new account to use as the default payment method. Just make sure it’s the same account where you receive your DoorDash earnings. The account you select as the default payment method will be the only account authorized to collect money from your Venmo account via the Venmo app. This means that anyone can collect money from you via Venmo by initiating a transfer request.
However, if you change your preferred payment method to another account, you can remove the Venmo account as an authorized account on the Venmo app. Just navigate to the Payment Information section and select the account you want to remove.
By PayPal Account
If you sign up for the PayPal Payment method on DoorDash, your PayPal account will automatically be your new default payment method. You can change your preferred payment method by logging into your PayPal account and navigating to the Payment Information section.
Here you can select a new account to use as the default payment method. Just make sure it’s the same account where you receive your DoorDash earnings. The account you select as the default payment method will be the only account authorized to collect money from your PayPal account. This means that anyone can collect money from you via PayPal by initiating a transfer request.
However, if you change your preferred payment method to another account, you can remove the PayPal account as an authorized account on the PayPal app. Just navigate to the Payment Information section and select the account you want to remove.
Credit Card
The only time you should change your preferred payment method to Credit Card is if you signed up for the Cash Payment method on DoorDash and are unable to pay in cash on your first order. In this case, you can change your preferred payment method to Credit Card so that you can earn money on your first delivery.
You should only use a card that you have available credit on and can pay off in full at the end of the month. If you don’t have an available credit card, you should stick to the Cash Payment method and collect your earnings in cash. In the future, you can change the preferred payment method on your DoorDash account to Credit Card to use the same card for future orders. If you don’t have a card on file in your account, you’ll be required to enter your credit card information each time you’re presented with a payment method selection.
Cash Deposit
If you sign up for the Cash Payment method on DoorDash, you’re required to collect your earnings in cash. In the event that you can’t collect your earnings in cash, you can change your preferred payment method to Cash Deposit.
You will have to set up a free account with Glide, a service that deposits your DoorDash earnings into your bank account. To sign up, navigate to the “Payment Information” section of your DoorDash account and select the “Cash Deposit” option.
