Does DoorDash have a referral program?
Yes. DoorDash has a refer-a-friend program that gives new users a discount on their first order when they sign up with a referral link. The person sharing the referral link also earns DoorDash credit when their referred friend completes their first order.
What do you get with a DoorDash referral?
- New user (referee): Typically receives a discount or free delivery credit on the first order. The exact amount varies by promotion and region, but often ranges from $5-$15 off or free delivery.
- Existing user (referrer): Earns DoorDash credit (usually $5-$10) after the referred friend places and completes their first order
The specific reward is shown on the referral landing page when you click a referral link, so you'll always know exactly what you're getting before you sign up.
How to find your DoorDash referral link
- Open the DoorDash app on your phone
- Tap the profile icon in the bottom right
- Select "Free Food" or "Invite Friends"
- Copy your unique referral link or share it directly
You can also find your referral link on the DoorDash website by logging in and navigating to Account > Refer a Friend.
How to use a DoorDash referral link
- Click the referral link shared by a friend
- You'll be taken to a DoorDash sign-up page showing the offer
- Create your account (you must be a new DoorDash user. Existing accounts are not eligible.)
- The credit is applied automatically to your account
- Add items to your cart and the discount will appear at checkout on your first order
Tip: The referral credit is typically only valid on your first order. Make it count: order at least $10-$15 worth of food to make sure the discount applies in full.
Why isn't my DoorDash referral code working?
A few common reasons:
- You already have a DoorDash account. Referral offers are for new accounts only. If you've ever signed up with a different email, you may not be eligible.
- The code expired. Some referral promotions are time-limited. Check with the person who shared it.
- Region restrictions. DoorDash referral offers sometimes vary by city or region. The offer shown may not be available in your area.
- Minimum order not met. Some offers require a minimum subtotal (before fees and tip) to activate.
Does DoorDash referral work with DashPass?
DashPass (DoorDash's subscription for free delivery) is separate from referral credits. You can use a referral credit on a DashPass order (they stack). In fact, if you're signing up and planning to subscribe to DashPass, applying a referral link first is a smart move.
