Why is this important?
Without the right business hours, your customers won’t know when they can order from you.
What you’ll learn
The first step to set up your Store is by adding your restaurant’s information. In this course, you’ll learn how to:
Find your Store ID: 1 min
Setting Your Store Status: 1 min

How do I find my Store ID?
Your Store ID can help us identify which store is yours when you contact support.
To identify your store ID:
1. Log in to the Merchant Portal or navigate to your store link on the DoorDash website.
2. In the URL, you'll find a series of digits which is your Store ID as shown below:

How do I find my Store Status?
1. In the Merchant Portal, navigate to the Store Availability Tab in the left-hand menu bar.

2. Once there, you will see one of the 5 store status types:
Open: Store is open and receiving orders
Paused: Store is paused during Store Open Hours and not receiving orders
Closed: Not receiving orders
Inactive: Store activation steps have not been completed or not receiving orders, or has been marked as permanently inactive
Deactivated: Store was activated but is now inactive and is not receiving orders (various root causes of Deactivation exist, including the Store has been inactive for a long period of time, or a Dasher reported the Store as Closed)
