What if I have trouble setting up my Red Card?
A few things to keep in mind before trying to set up the card:-
- If you have not completed the entire sign-up process and received a Welcome message from DoorDash stating your account is activated, please wait a few more days before trying again.
- Before setting up the card, make sure you are connected to WiFi. If the card is failing, force quit your Dasher app and wait for about 30 seconds to re-launch it.
- If the app freezes or gives you error messages, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. The latest version of the app may not have the bug you encountered. You can find more troubleshooting tips for the Dasher app here.
Using Your Red Card
- Only use the card to pay when prompted by the Dasher app: the app may say “Pay with Red Card” or “Place Order”.
- You can only use the Red Card to pay for a DoorDash order at the correct time and at the correct restaurant. The card will only charge the correct amount of money due to the restaurant.
- Always choose credit as payment method, since the card doesn’t come with a PIN. Ignore the fact that the card says “debit”.
- Do not add tip when paying with the Red Card, and you don’t need to keep receipts unless the order requests you keep the receipt. Please do not give your Red Card receipts to the customer.
- DoorDash will make sure that the card is funded correctly, and you don’t have to worry about discrepancies between the total on the receipt and the total in your Dasher app because DoorDash knows the correct amount.
- In the event that the card is lost, refer to Lost Red Card for next steps.
