Card Type Acceptance

October 02, 2024 01:52PM
I finally see one I can do with a credit card instead of debit. However, I am curious if anyone has gotten them approved in this case.....

It is an on-line merchant shop but it is for a local deli who does not have a website. The guidelines say you can use a third party like door dash to place the order. Seems to easy. Doesn't door dash take all forms of payment?

Anyone get one approved like this? The pay is good!

I did one recently where the homepage redirected me to Uber Eats / DoorDash. I wasn't sure if I should proceed. But for this specific shop, it was paying a lot and I could do a pick-up order for less than a $1. Mine is still being reviewed, but I'll post an update.

DoorDash does take credit card and debit card. The only thing is if you have customer credits / balance (like redeeming a gift card), it's going to draw from there first.

I haven't done one though where there's no website, but available on a 3PD.

@Datagirl This might not be helpful, with these shops gone now. But my shop where the site redirected me to DoorDash got approved. Not sure if they validate the initial small business website, or you can go straight to the third party delivery service.

No, it is helpful. The place that I had did not have a website at all though. I emailed the support people and got a response that it was passed on to the project manager to help me. I didn't complete the shop because I was hesitant about it. Regardless, I hope I get an answer to clarify so if they pop up again, I can do them.

Glad you got paid though, those jobs have some pretty high fees. I wish I had an AMEX or Discover Debit. By the time I get one, the project would probably be over!
