How to Remove a Credit Card From the DoorDash App
You can only remove a credit card from the DoorDash app if it’s not assigned as the default payment option. Otherwise, DoorDash doesn’t allow you to delete it on the app.
If you have only one card on your account and it’s assigned as the default payment option,
you’ll need to use the DoorDash website to remove it, which we’ll cover in the next section.
The default card on the DoorDash app will have a checkmark next to it.
You can change your default card at any time by tapping on the desired card if you have multiple cards on your account.
Another option could be to assign a different payment method like Apple Pay as default; in that case, you can remove your card using the DoorDash app.
Follow the steps below to remove your card on the DoorDash app.
Step 1. Open the DoorDash app on your phone or tablet.
Step 2. Tap the “Account” tab at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will take you to the main Account page.
Step 3. Tap “Payment under the Account Settings section.
Step 4. On the Payments screen, you’ll see your card(s) listed under the “Saved Payment Methods” section. Your default card will have a checkmark next to it. As mentioned before, you cannot delete your card on the DoorDash app if it’s the default payment option. If it’s not, go to the next step.
Step 5. Next, swipe left on the card you want to remove and tap “Delete.”
If the card doesn’t swipe left, that means it’s used as the default payment option. In that case, you will need to add another payment method.
If you want to add a new card, tap the “Credit/Debit Card” button under the “Add Payment Method” section.
Then, you can then enter your new card information and add it to your account.
You can have more than one credit/debit card on your DoorDash account, and you can tap on one of them to select the default payment option.

In the section, we’ll cover what payment methods DoorDash accepts.
What Payment Methods Are Accepted on DoorDash?
DoorDash accepts various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, DoorDash gift cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cash on delivery if restaurants allow cash payments.
Credit or debit card is the most used payment method on DoorDash. However, accepting different payment methods allow DoorDash to reach a broader customer base.
You can easily add, change, or remove a credit/debit card on the DoorDash app or website.
If you have multiple cards on your DoorDash account, you can switch between them and select the default payment option simply by tapping on the card.
DoorDash doesn’t have a set limit on how many cards you can save on your account; however, they may limit the number of cards for security reasons.
Accepting PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, and Google Pay satisfies the need of DoorDash customers who do not want to share their credit card information online.
In addition, DoorDash takes cash if the merchant allows cash payments on the DoorDash platform.
This comes especially handy for those who do not have access to a viable online payment method.
Note that while DoorDash allows customers to pay using different payment methods, you cannot split the cost of an order into two payment methods.
When placing an order on DoorDash, you’ll need to choose your payment method, and the entire cost of the order will be charged to the selected option.
