Would you ever use a “Buy Now, Pay Later” option for DoorDash?
- Absolutely, let future me worry about it!
- Maybe for a big grocery haul, not fast food.
- No way, if I can’t afford it now, I’m cooking.
The popular food delivery app announced a partnership with Klarna, the buy now, pay later (BNPL) platform, allowing customers to split the cost of their meals, groceries, and even DashPass membership into installment payments.
In the coming months, DoorDash users will have three new payment options at checkout:
- Pay in Full: The traditional method
- Pay in 4: Split payments into four interest-free installments
- Pay Later: Defer payments until a later date, aligning them with your paycheck
DoorDash billed the move as “added convenience” for customers looking to stock up groceries, big-ticket electronics, beauty, and other supplies.
“By offering smarter, more flexible payment solutions for groceries, takeout, and retail essentials, we’re making convenience even more accessible for millions of Americans,” Klarna CCO David Sykes said.
Social media, meanwhile, wasted no time roasting the move:
- “People would rather Klarna their DoorDash than make themselves a bowl of rice and chicken omg.”
- “If you need a loan to buy a damn burger, you’re not the customer—you’re the product.”
- “Me tipping the DoorDash driver $150 cuz it’s on Klarna’s tab.” (Alongside a GIF of Beyoncé giggling while tapping her phone.)
