How to Print a DoorDash Receipt: A Comprehensive Guide

Printing a DoorDash receipt is actually quite simple, although the process isn’t always immediately obvious. You’ll primarily access your receipts digitally through the DoorDash app or the DoorDash website, and from there, you can easily print them. Essentially, you need to access the order history, open the specific order you want a receipt for, and then use your device’s print function to print the page. Let’s delve into the details, providing a complete walkthrough.

Accessing Your DoorDash Order History

Via the DoorDash App (Mobile)

1. Open the DoorDash app on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure you’re logged into the account used for the order in question.
2. Tap the “Orders” tab, usually located at the bottom of the screen. This will display a list of your past orders.
3. Scroll through your order history to find the specific order you need the receipt for.
4. Tap on the order to view its details. This will open a comprehensive breakdown of the order, including items purchased, delivery fees, taxes, and the total amount paid.

Via the DoorDash Website (Desktop)

1. Open your web browser and navigate to the DoorDash website (doordash.com).
2. Log into your DoorDash account using the same credentials you use for the mobile app.
3. Click on your profile icon or name, usually located in the top right corner of the screen.
4. From the dropdown menu, select “Order History”. This will display a list of your past orders, similar to the mobile app.
5. Locate the specific order you need the receipt for and click on it to view the order details.

Printing the Receipt

Printing from the DoorDash App (Mobile)

The DoorDash app doesn’t directly offer a “Print” button. Therefore, you’ll need to use your phone’s screen capture function and then print the image.

1. Take a screenshot of the order details page. On most iPhones, this is done by pressing the power button and the volume up button simultaneously. On most Android phones, it’s usually the power button and the volume down button.
2. Open the screenshot in your phone’s photo gallery or photo editing app.
3. Crop the screenshot to remove any unnecessary parts, focusing only on the receipt information.
4. Share the image to your email, Google Drive, or another cloud service that you can access from your computer.
5. Open the image on your computer and use your computer’s print function to print the receipt.

Alternatively: Some phones offer the option to “print to PDF” directly from the share menu. If available, you can save the screenshot as a PDF and then print the PDF from your computer.

Printing from the DoorDash Website (Desktop)

Printing from the DoorDash website is significantly more straightforward.

1. Once you have the order details page open on your computer, right-click anywhere on the page.
2. Select “Print” from the context menu. This will open your browser’s print dialog box.
3. Select your printer from the list of available printers.
4. Adjust print settings as needed (e.g., page orientation, number of copies). Ensure the entire receipt is visible in the print preview.
5. Click “Print” to print the receipt.

Important Tip: In some cases, the default print settings may cut off parts of the receipt. Adjust the margins or scale in the print settings to ensure the entire receipt is printed correctly. You may also consider using the “Print to PDF” option, which allows you to save the page as a PDF document for printing later.

Troubleshooting Printing Issues

If you encounter any issues printing your DoorDash receipt, here are a few common solutions:

• Check your printer connection: Ensure your printer is properly connected to your computer and turned on.
• Update your printer drivers: Outdated printer drivers can cause printing problems. Visit your printer manufacturer’s website to download and install the latest drivers.
• Clear your browser cache and cookies: Sometimes, corrupted browser data can interfere with printing. Clear your browser cache and cookies and try again.
• Try a different browser: If you’re still having trouble, try printing from a different web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
• Contact DoorDash Support: If none of the above solutions work, contact DoorDash Support for assistance.

FAQs About Printing DoorDash Receipts

Here are some frequently asked questions to further clarify the process:

1. Can I get a physical receipt delivered with my DoorDash order? No, DoorDash does not typically provide physical receipts with orders. All receipts are digital and can be accessed through the app or website.

2. How far back can I access my order history on DoorDash? DoorDash usually maintains your order history for a considerable amount of time, often several years. However, they may have policies regarding data retention, so it’s best to access your receipts as soon as possible after placing your order.
