Delivering more

When you think of DoorDash, you think of delivery — but the DoorDash Merchant Suite delivers many ways to help you grow.

Grow online with DoorDash

On Marketplace, offer delivery and pickup on the DoorDash app and unlock the active DoorDash customer base. After choosing the products that work for your business, you’ll create a store page for the DoorDash app. Once your store is live, customers can find and place orders from your business. Or use On-Demand Delivery to offer delivery from your own app or site by tapping into DoorDash’s network of Dashers.

Attract new customers

Offer discounts, free delivery, or free or discounted items to new customers with Promotions. When you run a promotion, your business will be prominently featured to your target audience in the Offers tab of the DoorDash app.

Increase order volume & size

Increase order volume and size (and, as a result, profits) with Promotions that provide customers with discounts or free items only when they reach a specific minimum order size. If you already offer beer, wine, liquor, or cocktails in-store, add alcohol to your DoorDash menu to help increase ticket sizes and reach customers looking to order both food and alcohol.
