Sometimes, you might need to remove your EBT card from your DoorDash account. Maybe you’re not using it anymore, or you want to avoid accidentally using it for non-eligible purchases. Whatever the reason, knowing how to remove it is important. This guide will walk you through the steps to safely and easily remove your EBT card from your DoorDash profile, ensuring you have control over your payment methods.
Why Remove Your EBT Card?
One of the most common questions is, “Why would I want to remove my EBT card from DoorDash?” There are several good reasons. Perhaps you’ve decided to use a different payment method, or maybe you’re concerned about accidentally using your EBT for something you shouldn’t. The main reason to remove your EBT card is to prevent unintended charges or to better manage your spending.
Accessing the DoorDash App and Account Settings
First things first: you need to open the DoorDash app on your phone or visit the DoorDash website on your computer. Make sure you’re logged into your account. Once you’re logged in, you’ll need to find your account settings. This is usually done by tapping on your profile picture or a menu button, which often looks like three lines (hamburger menu) or your initials.
Once you’ve found your account settings, you’ll see options for managing different aspects of your account. The exact layout can vary slightly depending on whether you’re using the app or the website, and also by any DoorDash updates. You should see an option labeled something like “Payment Methods,” “Payment Info,” or “Wallet.” This is where you will make the necessary changes to the payment methods linked to your account.
When inside the settings, you will see a list of your payment options. This area will show all the payment methods currently added to your account. Look for the EBT card listed among your payment options. You should see any saved credit and debit cards you have added, and, if applicable, any gift cards or other forms of payment. The EBT card will usually be listed with its associated card number.
Make sure that the payment methods listed are the payment methods that you currently use. Be sure that all your information is accurate. If a payment method does not seem to be correct, check your card to be sure that the information matches. Here’s what to look for:
- Card Number
- Expiration Date
- CVV/CVC Code
- Billing Address
Locating the “Payment Methods” Section
Once you’re in the right area, which might be called “Payment Methods,” “Payment Info,” or something similar, you’ll see a list of your saved payment options. This is where you will locate your EBT card and make the necessary changes.
Navigating the DoorDash app or website can sometimes feel a bit like a treasure hunt, but don’t worry! Keep an eye out for icons like a credit card, a wallet, or a shopping bag, which often lead you to the payment section. If you’re on the app, the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen usually has the shortcuts you need.
The most important thing is to keep your eyes open for the correct labels and to take your time as you explore the app or website. Here is an example of what you might see on a payment screen:
- Credit/Debit Cards
- EBT Card
- Gift Cards
- Paypal
Once you’ve located your EBT card, you are ready to remove it!
Removing the EBT Card: Step-by-Step Guide
Okay, you’ve found the payment section and located your EBT card. Now comes the easy part: removing it. Usually, next to each payment method, there’s an option to edit or remove it. This could be a trash can icon, an “Edit” button, or something similar. If you cannot find a button for your card, then try pressing on the card to see if more options appear.
When you tap the “Remove” or “Delete” option (or whatever wording DoorDash uses), the app or website will usually ask you to confirm your choice. This is a safety measure to prevent accidental deletions. Make sure you *really* want to remove the card before you confirm!
Once confirmed, your EBT card should be removed from your account. DoorDash will no longer use it as a payment option for your orders. Sometimes, the removal process is immediate, and the changes take effect immediately. Other times, you might need to refresh the app or website to see the changes.
Remember to be certain you have made the change you want to make. If you accidentally delete a card, be sure that you add back your payment information. Here’s what you might see on the screen.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Tap the EBT Card | This should open the card info page. |
| Choose “Remove” | You may have to choose a specific button or icon. |
| Confirm Deletion | Make sure this is what you want to do! |
| Done! | Your card should be removed. |
Verifying the Card’s Removal
After removing your EBT card, it’s a good idea to make sure it’s really gone. Go back to the “Payment Methods” section and check the list. Your EBT card should no longer be visible.
If you see it still listed, try refreshing the page or closing and reopening the DoorDash app. If it’s still there, there might have been a glitch. Double-check the steps you took and try removing it again.
Try making a mock order, one without any purchases. When you attempt to pay, the EBT card should no longer be an option. This is the best way to see that the changes have been made.
This test order can help you confirm that your payment methods have been changed, and also provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing your account information is accurate. The same test applies to other payment methods. The test is also a useful tool to ensure that you do not accidentally purchase something using EBT. Here are the steps to check your account.
- Go to Account Settings.
- Choose Payment Options.
- Make Sure Your Card Is Gone.
- Refresh Your Page.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. What if you can’t find the “Remove” button? What if the app crashes? Don’t worry, it happens!
If you can’t find the option to remove the card, double-check that you’re in the right section of the app or website. Look for the “Payment Methods” or “Payment Info” section in your account settings. The location and labels on these settings can change with DoorDash updates. However, it’s still likely they will use the most straightforward and most commonly-used names.
If the app crashes or the website freezes, close the app, or refresh the webpage. Restart your phone or computer and try again. Also, make sure your app is updated to the latest version. Contacting DoorDash support is the best way to resolve any problems you may have.
