Uber Eats is a food delivery service that allows users to order meals from local restaurants and have them delivered directly to their door.
One feature of Uber Eats is the option to pay for your order at a later time. With Pay Later, you can order your favorite meals with ease and flexibility, without worrying about having enough money in your account. This can be helpful if you want to order food but don’t have the funds available at the moment, or if you want to split the cost of an order with someone else.
How does Uber Eats Pay Later Work

Additionally, they can also utilize an app like ‘Zip‘ that enables them to pay a portion of the order currently, and then the remainder later. Apart from these strategies, there is no possibility to pay later on Uber Eats.

Using Uber Cash
To pay later on Uber Eats, first make sure you have an Uber account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one by downloading the Uber app and following the prompts to sign up.
Once you have an account, open the app and select the “Uber Eats” option from the menu. From there, you can search for restaurants in your area and browse their menus to find the items you want to order.
When you’re ready to place your order, select the items you want and add them to your cart. On the checkout page, you will see the option to pay with a credit or debit card, or with Uber Cash. To pay later, select the “Uber Cash” option.
