‘Tis the Season for Hassle-Free Shopping

The holidays are hectic, but your shopping doesn’t have to be. Whether it’s last-minute essentials like wrapping paper, milk, and cookies or the perfect bottle of rum for spiked eggnog, we’ve got you covered.

• Find exactly what you want: We’re redesigning how you shop for retail products on DoorDash. Now you can search for an item across merchants, with prices and estimated delivery times displayed all in one view. We’ve started with alcohol* — so you can easily find your favorite bottle of bubbly for New Year’s Eve — and we’re rolling out the update nationwide across retail categories including beauty, electronics, and more in the coming months.
• Import your grocery lists: We’re launching a faster, easier way to build your grocery basket. Simply import from the Reminders app on iOS or paste your grocery list into the DoorDash app to add the items you need to your cart in minutes.

• Bundle multiple errands in a single order: In 2021 we introduced DoubleDash, enabling you to add items from an additional store to your order after you checked out — with no additional delivery fee. Now, we’re making it easier to plan your multi-store DoorDash order by allowing you to add items from multiple nearby stores to your order before you checkout. This way, you can confidently get everything you need bundled into one order, all without paying an additional delivery fee — it’s a Christmas miracle!

It’s a gift that keeps on giving for any occasion, with savings all year-round. The best part? You won’t have to wrap it!

DashPassing All the Way

• SNAP/ EBT recipients save more: We’re introducing a new, one-year discounted DashPass plan for SNAP/ EBT recipients. Eligible customers who sign up for the plan can enjoy one year of DashPass benefits — like $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders, exclusive offers, and more — for just $4.99/month****. This is a critical expansion of our commitment to broaden food access and reduce barriers to fresh groceries so millions of customers can set the table with their favorite dishes every day.
• Holiday Hack: Last month, we launched a partnership with Lyft to provide DashPass members monthly rideshare benefits at no additional cost. DashPass members can link their DoorDash and Lyft accounts to unlock exclusive monthly benefits and substantial discounts, including 50% off up to 4 scheduled rides to the airport through the end of the year.***** DashPass members now have even more ways to save on everything from meals and groceries to streaming and transportation.
