DoorDash is an on-demand food delivery service that allows you to make money by delivering food from local restaurants around town.
There are different ways to make money with DoorDash, whether that’s through tips or delivery incentives.
Tip amounts can be adjusted based on a variety of factors, including your personal preference and the type of food you’re delivering. Here’s how to change the tip amount when using DoorDash.
How to change your DoorDash tip amount
There are many reasons why you might want to adjust your DoorDash tip amount.
Perhaps the restaurant charged for extra toppings on the food you delivered, or you felt the delivery was particularly challenging.
You can change the tip amount for every delivery, but only after you’ve completed it. If you want to change the tip amount before you start a delivery, you can’t.
Fortunately, there’s a simple workaround. Here are a few steps to change your DoorDash tip amount.
- Open the DoorDash app and select the “Orders” tab.
- Select a delivery you’ve already completed.
- Select the “Edit” button.

How Long Does It Take to Change the Tip Amount?
Changing the tip amount after a delivery is completed is pretty quick. You can expect the process to take roughly 3-5 minutes, as long as you’re changing the tip amount by a dollar or two.
If you decide to increase your tip amount by more than a few dollars, it might take a few minutes longer.
DoorDash has a system in place to ensure that the new amount is applied to the order.
If you change the tip too many times or add an extraordinarily high amount, DoorDash may prevent you from making any more changes to the order.
Why you should adjust your DoorDash tip amount
As mentioned above, there are many reasons why you might want to adjust your tip amount. You might be making a delivery that’s extra challenging or difficult, or the restaurant might have charged for extra toppings on the food you delivered. You might also have a specific type of food you prefer to deliver.
Some DoorDash orders are more challenging than others, and a higher tip can help make the experience smoother and more enjoyable.
If you’re delivering a food item you prefer to deliver, such as an ice cream or frozen yogurt — you might want to adjust your tip amount to make up for any added effort.
Can I Change the Tip After the Delivery?
You can change the tip amount at any time, regardless of when the delivery was made. The only exception is that you can’t change the tip amount after you’ve been paid.
The reason for this is that DoorDash uses the tip amount to calculate the overall amount for the delivery. If you change the tip from $2 to $3, DoorDash takes the additional $1 and adds it to the total for your delivery.
Conclusion
The tip amount on a DoorDash delivery is entirely up to you. You have the option of leaving no tip at all, or you can choose to increase the tip to make up for any added effort or challenges.
The amount you leave as a tip is entirely up to you. You can also change the tip amount after every delivery, so feel free to adjust it as often as you’d like.
