How do you cash out on DoorDash?
DoorDash allows delivery drivers to choose how often they want to cash out. That is, you can cash out on DoorDash weekly, daily or instantly.
Additionally, DoorDash automatically pays delivery drivers weekly via direct deposit.
However, if you want to receive your money earlier, you can choose between DasherDirect (instant payments) or Fast Pay (daily payments).
With DasherDirect, you receive a special Visa credit card to which your payments are automatically uploaded.
By contrast, Express Pay allows drivers to cash out their earnings at the end of each day. However, there is a daily fee of $1.99 when using Fast Pay.
How do you set up weekly DoorDash payments?
Luckily, DoorDash makes it easy to set up direct deposit, so you don’t have to worry about when your payment will arrive in your bank account.
That said, to set up direct deposit with DoorDash, follow these steps:
- Go to the Dasher mobile app
- Find the “Earnings” tab
- Click on the red bank symbol (in the upper right corner of the screen)
- Fill out necessary banking information (name associated with bank account, social security number, routing number, account number)
- Click on Submit Bank Details to complete the process
Once you enter this information, all of your DoorDash earnings will be automatically deposited into your bank account at the end of each week.
How do you set up daily DoorDash payments?
If you wish to receive DoorDash earnings daily, you must set up this payment method in your Dasher settings.
After completing the above steps, click “Quick Pay” to select a daily payment. Then, you must enter information for a valid debit card, which is required to use Express Pay.
Remember, when you sign up for Fast Pay, there is a 7-day processing period before using the service.
Once the processing period is over, follow these steps to cash out using Express Pay:
- Find the Earnings tab in the Dasher app
- Click on “Deposit and Transfer”
- Click “Cash Out with Fast Pay” to transfer earnings to your debit card account
Additionally, you must pay a fee of $1.99 per cash out, and you can only cash out using Fast Pay once per day.
How do you cash out instantly on DoorDash?
If you want to take advantage of instant payments, you must sign up for DasherDirect, which is very easy.
However, you must apply for DasherDirect, so you may not be accepted for instant payments. Still, DoorDash rarely refuses instant payments.
So, to apply for a DasherDirect card, click on the “Earnings” section in the Dasher app and fill in the necessary information.
Then, after you receive your DasherDirect card, you can activate it and continue DoorDashing. After that, you can enjoy instant direct deposit after every order delivered!
What is the difference between DasherDirect and Express Pay?
There are some differences between DasherDirect and Fast Pay. Most notably, DasherDirect allows instant payments and Fast Pay allows instant payments.
However, other differences between the two include:
- Fees (Fast Pay charges $1.99, DasherDirect doesn’t charge any)
- Card type (Fast Pay only works with debit cards, while DasherDirect requires drivers to use DasherDirect debit cards through Payfare)
- Processing period (Fast Pay has a 7-day processing period, DasherDirect does not)
- Eligibility (Dasher must complete 25 deliveries and work for at least two weeks, and DasherDirect sends invitations to eligible DoorDashers)
How does DoorDash pay you?
DoorDash pays its delivery drivers by direct deposit to the linked bank account you set up in Dasher settings.
So if your banking information changes, be sure to change your settings immediately.
Additionally, if you choose to pay instantly, the money will be uploaded directly to the DasherDirect card associated with the account.

You can track your earnings on the Dasher mobile app. To do this, open the Dasher app and click “Earnings” to see your earnings for a specific date.
