How to Use a Starbucks Gift Card on DoorDash? [2025]

Do you want Starbucks to come to your house? If you have a Starbucks gift card and want to know how to use it with DoorDash, this blog is for you.
We will discuss whether you can use your Starbucks gift card on DoorDash, how to do so, and what you should know before placing your order.
Here’s How to Use a Starbucks Gift Card on DoorDash
Here’s how to get your gift card ready:
- Launch the Starbucks app or visit the Starbucks website.
- Log in to your account.
- Choose “Add Card” after tapping “Scan” or “Payment.”
- Enter the PIN and card number from the back of your Starbucks gift card.
- Your account will show your card balance once you add it.
Now you can use it to place your DoorDash order.
Placing a Starbucks Order on DoorDash
After adding money to your gift card, open the DoorDash app and search for a Starbucks location near you.
Like you usually do, put your food or drinks in the cart. DoorDash will automatically deduct the money for your Starbucks items from your Starbucks balance when you reach the checkout page.
However, here’s the most important part: if your total includes delivery, taxes, or tips, these costs won’t be deducted from your Starbucks gift card.
You can pay that part with a debit card, credit card, or DoorDash Wallet, all of which are standard payment methods.
What to Keep in Mind
- This only works for DoorDash orders from Starbucks, not from other restaurants.
- Check to see if your gift card has enough money on it to cover the Starbucks portion of your order.
- You won’t see “Starbucks gift card” as a separate payment option; it simply uses your Starbucks balance in the background.
- You can still complete the order if you don’t have enough money by using an alternative payment method.
Why It’s Handy
Using your Starbucks gift card on DoorDash is a quick way to get your favourite drinks without having to leave the house.
Additionally, just as when you purchase items in-store, your Starbucks account will continue to earn Stars and rewards, which is a great bonus.
