3. Choose Delivery Method
There are two ways your recipient can receive their gift card. DoorDash will show you the option to send it to them through either an email or the mail.
If you choose to send the card through an email, then it’s a digital gift card.
The recipient will still see the card, but they’ll have a code that’s attached to the email that they use to redeem it.
If you want to send it through the mail, then the recipient will receive a physical gift card based on the customizations that you requested.
They can use the code on the back of the gift card to redeem it online. No matter which method you choose, the gift card looks customized the way you made it look.
4. Choose Payment Method
The final step to buying a gift card for someone is to choose the payment method that you intend to use to buy the gift card.
DoorDash accepts all major credit cards, so buying one is easy.
If you have a DoorDash account, then you can use the payment method you have stored there.
Otherwise, you can type in a new payment method and use that to pay for the gift card.
Once you submit your order, the card will process and either send immediately to your recipient or start the development process before heading off to the mail.
