Note: The Orders tab and Orders Breakdown offer a comprehensive live view of current orders being fulfilled so the payout will be an estimate at that point in time.

How do I provide Dasher feedback?
Your feedback is very important because it helps DoorDash improve our experience for both you and your customer. You can rate your Dasher two different ways on the Merchant Portal:
Option 1 - Financials tab
Navigate to the Financials tab under the Orders Breakdown section.
Within that window, click on the Order ID number of the delivery you wish to provide feedback for.
3. In the pop-up on the right, select Dasher Feedback.
4. Select whether you prefer to use or not use this Dasher in the future.
Option 2 - Orders tab
In the Merchant Portal, navigate to the Orders section.
In the History tab, click on the delivery you wish to provide feedback for.
Within the window that pops up, click on Rate Feedback.
A pop-up will appear and you can click This Dasher was good if you had a good experience and you can click This Dasher needs improvement if you weren’t happy with their service.
You can also select Prefer this Dasher if you want to prioritize that Dasher delivering orders to your store in the future or you can select Block this Dasher, to prevent them from picking up more orders from your store in the future.
4. Choose one of the options so that we can either prioritize that Dasher delivering orders to your store or block the Dasher from doing more orders for your store in the future.
How do I know I got paid for a cancellation?
Cancellations happen for a number of reasons. Whatever the reason is, we aim to always compensate our restaurant partners for meals they have prepared.
Merchants are paid when:
Cancellation occurs after the merchant has successfully confirmed the order
Order has been prepared
The merchant did not initiate or is not at fault for the cancellation
Here’s how to determine whether you’ve been paid out for a cancellation:
In the Merchant Portal, navigate to the Orders section.
Review the Status column to see which order was canceled or apply the Filter to show “Cancelled” only.
Click on Order ID to open a pop-up with order and cancellation details.
4. Within the cancellation details window, you’ll find information on:
If you were paid for a canceled order
An explanation as to why you were or were not paid for the order
Example of a paid cancellation
Order explanations
Here are the definitions as to why an order was canceled and why you were not paid for the specific order:
Did not confirm: If you didn’t confirm an order before it was canceled.
Staff Requested - Could Not Fulfill: Your team was unable to fulfill the order.
Staff Requested to Cancel: Your team canceled the order.
Staff Requested - Too Busy: Because your team was too busy, the order was canceled.
Order Not Prepared: This order was canceled after confirmation but before it was prepared. If you prepared the order and didn’t want it canceled, you can contact Support.
Store Closed: Your restaurant was reported as closed.
Item Out of Stock: The item was unavailable.
Extreme Dasher Wait Time: If a Dasher has to wait more than 15 minutes, the order was automatically canceled. Here are some tips on how to prevent avoidable wait.
Wrong Order Handed to Dasher: This order was canceled because the wrong order was handed to the Dasher. You were not paid because the customer did not receive their correct order.
Merchant Unresponsive: If it was not possible to reach you, the order was canceled and you were not paid.
Duplicate Order: The order was reported as a duplicate.
Entire Order Not Placed by Staff: The order was never placed by your staff.
Long Fulfillment Time: If the order took too long to prepare, it was canceled. Please ensure your prep times are accurate.
