Sometimes, you might want to change the way you pay for your DoorDash orders. Maybe you don’t want to use your EBT card anymore, or perhaps you got a new credit card. This guide will walk you through the steps on how to remove your EBT card from your DoorDash account. We’ll cover everything from where to find the payment settings to what to expect during the process. Let’s dive in!
Where Do I Start?
The first thing you need to do is log in to your DoorDash account. You can do this on the DoorDash website using a web browser or through the DoorDash app on your phone or tablet. Make sure you’re using the same account where your EBT card is currently saved. Once you’re logged in, you can start looking for your payment options.
Navigating the DoorDash app or website is pretty straightforward. After you log in, look for the “Account” section. This is usually found in the bottom navigation bar of the app or in the menu if you’re using a web browser. In your account settings, there should be an area dedicated to payment methods or payment information. This is where you’ll be able to add, edit, or remove your payment options. DoorDash keeps this area safe to protect your card details.
Before you start, it’s good to know that the exact wording and layout of the DoorDash app and website can sometimes change, but the general process remains the same. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look exactly like what we describe. The important thing is to find your account settings and then look for a section related to payment. Keep in mind that depending on how you originally signed up, such as through a social media account, there might be slightly different steps.
Don’t worry if it feels a bit confusing at first. We’ll explain everything step-by-step, and soon you’ll be a pro at managing your DoorDash payment methods. Now, let’s find out exactly where you can remove the card. Here’s a simple example of what you might see in the app:
- Credit Card
- EBT Card
- PayPal
Finding the Payment Settings
Once you’ve logged in and found your account settings, the next step is to locate the payment settings. These are usually clearly labeled. Look for options like “Payment Methods,” “Payment Info,” or something similar. Clicking on this should take you to a page that lists all of the payment methods currently saved on your account. Make sure you’re on the right account. It is possible that you might have multiple accounts for DoorDash.
Inside the payment settings, you should see a list of all your added cards, including your EBT card. You’ll also see any other payment options you’ve used, like credit cards or PayPal. These settings usually offer options like “Edit,” “Remove,” or sometimes a trash can icon next to each payment method. The layout might be different depending on whether you’re using the app or the website, but the function is pretty much the same. This is where you’ll be able to find all your payment options.
The goal is to identify your EBT card and find the option to remove it. It’s also a good idea to double-check the card details before removing it, in case you need to keep the card. You can sometimes see the last four digits of the card to help identify it. The removal process is usually simple, but it’s always good to make sure you’re working on the right payment method. After you select “remove” or the “delete” icon, you might get a confirmation message to make sure you really want to delete your card.
Here’s a quick look at how the screen might appear on the web, but keep in mind that the app might be slightly different:
- Credit Card ending in 1234 – Edit | Remove
- EBT Card ending in 5678 – Edit | Remove
- PayPal – Edit | Remove
Removing the EBT Card
After you have located your EBT card in the payment settings, the actual removal process is usually very simple. You will see an option near the card. This may be called “Remove” or have a trash can icon. Click on the “Remove” button or the icon that will delete the card. DoorDash might ask you to confirm your choice. This is an added safety measure to make sure you really intend to remove the card.
The sentence you’re looking for is, “To remove your EBT card, simply click the ‘Remove’ button or the trash can icon next to your EBT card information.” Removing your card is very similar whether you are on a phone app or on the web. After you remove the card, it should disappear from your list of payment methods. You may need to refresh the page or restart the app to confirm the removal. If you use any other payment methods, like a credit card or PayPal, these will still be listed, so you can continue to use those options.
Before you remove your EBT card, consider if you still need it. If you want to use your EBT card to make food purchases through DoorDash again in the future, you will have to add the card again. Think about why you want to remove the card. For example, if you’re getting a new EBT card, you’ll need to remove the old one and then add the new card to DoorDash. Make sure you’re logged into the correct account before you do anything.
Here’s a very basic look at what you might see when you’re about to remove your EBT card in DoorDash: A pop-up might ask: “Are you sure you want to remove this payment method?” The choices will be: “Yes, Remove” and “Cancel.”
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. If you’re having trouble removing your EBT card, here are some things to consider. First, make sure you have a stable internet connection. A weak signal can sometimes cause problems when you try to make changes to your account. It’s also a good idea to restart the DoorDash app or try logging out and back in. This can often fix minor glitches.
Another common issue is that the app or website might be experiencing a temporary problem. This is rare, but it can happen. If you suspect this, you can try again later. DoorDash often updates its app and website to fix bugs and improve performance. Make sure you have the latest version of the app installed on your phone. Also, it’s important to check if your EBT card has expired. Expired cards cannot be used, and they should be removed from the account.
If you still can’t remove your card, there’s always the possibility of contacting DoorDash support. You can usually find a “Help” or “Support” section in the app or on the website. Look for options like “Contact Us” or “Get Help.” DoorDash support can often help resolve technical issues. You can reach out to them by phone, chat, or email, but be prepared to explain the problem clearly, including the steps you’ve already tried.
To help troubleshoot, here’s a simple checklist you can follow:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| App not working | Restart the app; Check Internet; Update the app |
| Website error | Refresh the page; Try again later |
| Expired card | Remove the expired card; Add the new card |
Adding a New Payment Method (If Needed)
After you remove your EBT card, you’ll probably want to add another payment method if you plan to continue using DoorDash. This is simple. In the payment settings, there’s usually an option to “Add Payment Method,” “Add Card,” or something similar. You’ll then be prompted to enter the details of your new payment method, such as a credit card number, expiration date, and security code (CVV).
DoorDash will guide you through the process. The app or website might ask you for additional information, such as your billing address. Be sure to enter all the information accurately. Once you’ve added the new payment method, it should appear in your list of saved payment options. You can also set a default payment method, which DoorDash will automatically use for your orders unless you choose otherwise. This is important so you don’t have to select a payment method every time.
When adding a new card, make sure you’re using a card that’s active and that you have the necessary funds or credit available. DoorDash verifies your payment information when you add a card. If there are any issues, you’ll usually get an error message, so be prepared to double-check your details and try again. The process for adding a card is generally very similar in both the app and on the website. This helps make it easy to switch between devices.
Here’s a very basic overview of what you might see when adding a new payment card:
- Tap on “Add Payment Method”
- Select “Credit Card”
- Enter your card details:
- Card Number
- Expiration Date
- CVV Code
- Billing Address
- Save your card
Contacting DoorDash Support
If you run into any problems you can’t solve on your own, or if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact DoorDash support. You can usually find a link to their support options in the app or on the website, often in the “Help” or “Support” section. There are several ways to contact them, so choose the option that works best for you, depending on where you live.
The most common methods for contacting DoorDash support are through in-app chat, phone calls, and email. In-app chat is usually the fastest way to get help. You can often get immediate assistance from a support agent. Phone calls are also available, but wait times can sometimes vary. Email can be a good option if you have a more detailed question. Make sure to explain your issue clearly and provide all the necessary information to help them assist you.
When contacting support, it’s helpful to have your account information ready, such as your email address or phone number associated with your DoorDash account. It’s also a good idea to take screenshots of any error messages you see, so you can show the support agent the exact issue you’re facing. DoorDash support is available to help you with any problems, including removing your EBT card, adding a new payment method, or other account issues. Try your best to be as helpful as possible. This will help speed up the process.

Verifying the Removal
After you’ve removed your EBT card and perhaps added a new payment method, it’s important to verify that everything is working correctly. Start by checking your payment settings again to make sure that your EBT card is gone. The new payment method should be listed. Make sure it’s the payment method you want to use in the future.
The best way to test your new setup is to place a small order. Choose a restaurant nearby and select an item that is inexpensive. Before you place the order, confirm that the new payment method you selected is displayed as the payment method. Place the order and wait for it to arrive. This helps you confirm that the new card is working and that the correct payment method is selected. Also, confirm that you are using the right delivery address.
If you experience any problems with your order, such as issues with payment, contact DoorDash support immediately. Keep records of your order, including the order confirmation and any receipts. If everything goes smoothly, congratulations! You’ve successfully removed your EBT card from DoorDash and added a new payment method. It is always a good idea to double-check everything after changing your payment information. It will help you confirm that everything is set up and working as expected.

- Go to Payment Settings
