Why DoorDash Capital?
Fast and convenient funding
If you’re eligible*, you’ll see a pre-approved amount in your Merchant Portal. If you accept, you'll receive the funds within 1-2 days.
Transparent pricing
Pay a one-time access fee, and that’s it. Repayment will be automatically deducted from your payout based on a percentage of your DoorDash sales.
Use the funds however you want
How you use this funding is up to you—you can pay employees, cover unexpected expenses, upgrade equipment and more.
Financing for merchants
Get easy access to capital (typically $5,000 to $15,000 or more) through a partnership between DoorDash and Parafin, a business financing provider. There are no hidden charges, no recurring interest and no prepayment penalty. There’s also no need to apply—eligible merchants can view, customize, and accept an offer in the Merchant Portal, and receive funds in as little as 1-2 business days.
Hassle-free payback
Once an offer is accepted, your offer link becomes a repayment dashboard, where you can monitor your repayment progress and make early payments if you’d like. Repayments are taken as a percentage of your DoorDash sales—you choose the percentage and the repayment period (typically 6-9 months).

Frequently asked questions
Eligibility is limited to select merchants and requires a sustained sales history with DoorDash. If you aren't eligible today, once you grow your DoorDash store's sales, you might become eligible in the future. We are continuously re-evaluating which merchants qualify for the program based on sales performance on DoorDash.
DoorDash Capital is a cash advance, not a loan. With a cash advance, the offer is based on your sales and account history, and includes a simple, transparent one-time fee that you’ll know before you decide to accept the offer. A loan operates using interest, which can compound over time, and often includes other fees in addition to the stated interest rate

No, DoorDash Capital doesn’t affect your credit score. There are no credit checks, and we don’t require a personal guarantee for your business to get an offer.
