Getting a refund after canceling your DoorDash order depends on the timing of your cancellation. DoorDash has specific rules about when you can get your money back, and these rules are based on how far along your order is in the preparation and delivery process.

- Full Refund - Restaurant Has Not Confirmed Order and No Driver Assigned: If you cancel very early, before the restaurant confirms your order and before a driver is assigned, you will get a full refund. This means you get all your money back, including taxes and fees. This usually happens within the first few minutes after you place your order.

- Partial Refund - Restaurant Has Not Confirmed Order but Driver is Assigned: If a driver has been assigned to pick up your order but the restaurant hasn't confirmed it yet, you will get a partial refund. DoorDash keeps some money to cover the driver assignment costs.

- Partial Refund - Restaurant Has Confirmed Order but No Driver Assigned: If the restaurant has confirmed your order and started preparing it but no driver has been assigned yet, you will get a partial refund. Part of your payment covers the food preparation costs.

- No Refund - Restaurant Has Confirmed Order and Driver is Assigned: If both the restaurant has confirmed your order and a driver has been assigned, you will not get any refund. At this point, the restaurant is preparing your food and the driver is getting ready to pick it up. DoorDash cannot give refunds at this stage because work has already begun on your order.

- Special Circumstances May Apply: All refund decisions are made by DoorDash according to their terms and conditions. The company has the final say on whether you get money back and how much. If you have special circumstances, like a closed restaurant or driver problems, you should contact customer support for help.

Sometimes you don't want to cancel your entire order. Instead, you might just want to add or remove some items. DoorDash allows you to make adjustments to your order, but only under certain conditions. This option can save you from canceling and reordering everything.

Important: You can only make adjustments if the restaurant has not started processing your order yet. Once the restaurant begins preparing your food, you cannot change anything. This is why you need to act quickly if you want to make changes.

1. Click on "Help" from the menu in the upper left corner of the DoorDash website.
