Dutch Bros
payment options.

What you can pay with at the window, in the app, and the one method that doesn’t work for mobile orders.

Dutch Bros accepts a wide range of payment methods, and the right one depends on whether you’re ordering in person or through the app. At the drive-thru or walk-up window, cash, credit/debit cards, gift cards, and Dutch Pass all work. Through Order Ahead in the app, the options narrow slightly — cash drops off the list entirely, since mobile orders require a card, gift card, rewards redemption, or Dutch Pass balance to complete.

Apple Pay deserves its own mention since it’s one of the most-searched payment questions for the brand: yes, it works, but not as a tap-to-pay swipe directly at the register. Instead, you load Apple Pay funds into your Dutch Pass through the app, then scan your Dutch Pass at checkout — the points and payment happen together in one motion.

One order, one method: you can’t split a single transaction across two payment types — pick one before checkout. If a gift card balance falls short, the app will prompt you to add a second card or fall back to your default payment method.
