Determine which service offers the lower total by manually building an identical cart on both platforms for your specific delivery address at the moment you intend to order.

## Account for all hidden fees

View the final checkout screen on both apps before paying. Ensure your calculation includes the item prices, service fees, delivery charges, and any minimum spend requirements that may apply to your location.

Include the impact of membership subscriptions or initial order vouchers. A discount on one platform may be negated by higher base service fees compared to the other.

## Process for Cashback eligibility

If you use ShopBack to earn Cashback, always open the specific merchant page via the ShopBack app or website before starting your order.

Promo codes featured on ShopBack's Uber Eats page under Deals & Discounts stack with ShopBack Cashback. Promo codes featured on ShopBack's DoorDash page under Deals & Discounts stack with ShopBack Cashback.

## Check availability and live rates

Use the official Uber Eats and DoorDash sites to confirm if your desired restaurant is currently accepting orders for your area.

Conditions and fees are subject to change based on demand and location. Verify the total cost for each platform independently rather than relying on historical pricing or broad assumptions.
