Dashers (the name given to DoorDash drivers) get paid through your bank account. When you sign up to be a Dasher, you’ll get funds from direct deposit, which makes the process relatively easy. Read on for key details on how to get paid as a Dasher.

8. Enter the relevant bank details.

When do Dashers get paid?

There are three main methods to receive payments from DoorDash: weekly deposits, DasherDirect, and Dasher Fast Pay. Let’s go over each variant in detail.

Weekly deposit payments

Dashers are paid weekly for deliveries Monday through Sunday of the previous week. Payments are sent directly to your bank account via direct deposit and may take up to 3 days to reflect in your account. If a holiday falls on a Monday, there may be a one-day delay in receiving funds.

Dasher Fast Pay – Available in Australia, Canada and the United States

Dashers can receive their earnings daily from Fast Pay for $1.99. Fast Pay ensures Dashers receive their funds on demand instead of waiting until the end of the week for a direct deposit. You must have a debit card to use Fast Pay.

DasherDirect – Only available in the United States

American Dashers can apply for a DasherDirect prepaid Visa card that allows them to receive funds after each delivery. Funds are sent to your DasherDirect account and will be available within two hours at no additional charge.

Do you become eligible for fast pay?

To be eligible for DoorDash Fast Pay and withdraw money daily, you will need to meet certain requirements:

• You must complete a minimum of 25 deliveries per lifetime.
• You should work at DoorDash for at least two weeks.
• You set up Quick Pay and added your debit card at least a week ago, so the processing period has ended.
• You have not updated your debit card details in the past week.
