You can cancel DoorDash+ at any time through the app or website, and the cancellation takes effect immediately

DoorDash+ is a paid membership that gives you free delivery on orders over a certain amount and other perks. If you no longer want it, you can stop the subscription without penalty — there is no lock-in period or cancellation fee. The process takes less than a minute and you will not be charged again after you cancel.

The cancellation works the same way whether you pay monthly or have an annual plan. Once you cancel, you lose access to DoorDash+ benefits right away, but any remaining time on an annual plan does not get refunded. If you paid for a year upfront and cancel after three months, that money is gone.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through the DoorDash app by going to Account > DoorDash+ > Manage Subscription > Cancel, or through the website under Account Settings.
  • Cancellation takes effect immediately and you will not be charged again, but annual plans are not refunded if you cancel partway through.
  • You can rejoin DoorDash+ at any time after canceling without any penalty or waiting period.
  • If you are charged after canceling, contact DoorDash support with your cancellation confirmation to request a refund.

How to cancel through the DoorDash app

Open the DoorDash app and tap the account icon at the bottom right. Select Account, then scroll down to find DoorDash+. Tap Manage Subscription, then select Cancel Subscription. You will see a confirmation screen asking why you are canceling — this is optional to answer. Tap Cancel Subscription again to confirm.

After you cancel, the app will show you a confirmation message. Take a screenshot or note the date for your records. You should receive a confirmation email within a few minutes, though sometimes it takes up to an hour.

How to cancel through the DoorDash website

Go to doordash.com and log in to your account. Click the account icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings. Look for the Subscriptions section and click on DoorDash+. Click Manage Subscription, then select Cancel Subscription. Follow the same confirmation steps as the app.

The website version works identically to the app. Either method will cancel your subscription across both platforms — you do not need to cancel separately on each one.

What happens to your account after you cancel

Once you cancel, you lose DoorDash+ benefits immediately. This means delivery fees will apply to your next order, and you will no longer get free delivery on may have access to orders. Any other perks tied to the membership — such as reduced service fees or exclusive deals — will also stop.

Your account itself stays active. You can still order from DoorDash without a subscription; you will just pay regular delivery and service fees. Your order history, saved addresses, and payment methods remain on file.

Refunds and what to do if you are charged after canceling

Monthly subscriptions are not refunded for the current billing period. If you cancel on the 15th of the month and your next charge date is the 20th, you will not be charged on the 20th. But you will not get money back for the days between the 15th and the 20th.

Annual plans do not get refunded at all, even if you cancel immediately after purchasing. This is DoorDash's standard policy and does not change based on how long you have had the subscription.

If you see a charge after canceling, first check your confirmation email to verify the cancellation date. If the charge came after that date, contact DoorDash support through the app or website. Go to Account > Help > Contact Us and describe the issue. Provide your confirmation email or screenshot. DoorDash support can review the charge and issue a refund if it was made in error.

Pausing instead of canceling

DoorDash does not offer a formal pause feature for DoorDash+. Your only options are to keep the subscription active or cancel it. If you think you might want it back soon, canceling is still the right move — you can rejoin without any waiting period or penalty, and you will not be charged while canceled.

Some people cancel and then rejoin during promotional periods when DoorDash offers a discount on the first month. There is no downside to canceling and rejoining later.

Restarting your DoorDash+ subscription

You can rejoin DoorDash+ at any time by going back to the same menu where you canceled. Open Account > DoorDash+ and select Manage Subscription. You will see an option to restart or renew. Choose your billing period (monthly or annual) and confirm. You will be charged immediately and your benefits will be active right away.

Restarting does not restore any unused time from a previous annual plan. Each subscription is separate, so if you canceled a yearly plan partway through and rejoin later, you start a new billing cycle from the date you restart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my saved addresses and payment methods if I cancel?

No. Canceling DoorDash+ only removes the subscription. Your account, saved addresses, payment methods, and order history all stay on file. You can order from DoorDash again anytime without re-entering that information.

Can I cancel an annual plan and get a refund?

DoorDash does not refund annual plans, even if you cancel immediately after purchasing. If you paid for a year upfront, that money is not returned. Monthly plans are also not refunded for the current billing period, but you will not be charged again after you cancel.

What if I cancel but still get charged?

Contact DoorDash support through the app or website and provide your cancellation confirmation. Support can review the charge and issue a refund if it was made after your cancellation date. Keep your confirmation email as proof of when you canceled.

Do I have to give a reason when I cancel?

No. DoorDash asks why you are canceling, but the answer is optional. You can skip that step and proceed directly to the cancellation confirmation.

Can I cancel from my phone if I signed up on a computer?

Yes. Your DoorDash account is the same across all devices. You can cancel through the app or website from any device, and the cancellation applies to your entire account immediately.
