Unlock more profits with DoorDash
Delivering more
When you think of DoorDash, you think of delivery — but the DoorDash Merchant Suite delivers many ways to help you grow.
Grow with DoorDash
Expand your reach by listing your business on the DoorDash app, also known as Marketplace. Plus, increase sales by tapping into DashPass subscribers, who spend and order more on average. Included in every partnership is Storefront — customizable and commission-free online ordering that lives on your website. Or use Drive to offer delivery from your own app or site by tapping into DoorDash’s network of Dashers. Finally, streamline operations with Bbot, our in-store digital ordering and payment solution.
Attract new customers
Sponsored Listings give you prime real estate in the DoorDash app so you get noticed by new customers. Promotions let you offer discounts or free items to encourage customers to place orders, and Storefront promotions use similar incentives to get customers to place commission-free orders directly on your website. Brand Licensing lets you add a revenue stream by selling an established, well-known brand out of your restaurant’s kitchen.
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.
Access financing
Take your business to the next level by expanding with DoorDash Capital. Easy, accessible financing can help eligible merchants invest in new equipment, open a new location, hire more employees, and much more.
"The additional revenue that we receive from DoorDash is very helpful. Not only does it provide more sales, but the incremental margins on those sales are a lot higher because we've already covered our fixed costs with our regular business."
Jamie Schrotberger, CEO, Spread Bagelry

DoorDash charges fees and commission rates to bring value to your business and community. Here are some of the items they cover:
Advertising and marketing: Being on the DoorDash app puts your business in front of new customers every day.
Delivery driver costs: We empower our community of Dashers, who make every delivery possible, by providing them flexible earning opportunities with competitive local pay, promotional pay, 24/7 support, third party insurance, and exclusive discounts. Learn more about the Dasher Community at Dasher Central.
Customer service and support for consumers, merchants, and Dashers: Customers, business owners, and Dashers all have unique needs that often need addressing immediately. When something goes wrong with an order, we have a 24/7/365 team of people ready to help solve customer issues, so they’ll continue to order from your business.
Technology platform costs: It takes a world-wide, world-class logistics, engineering, coding, marketing, and operations team to keep the DoorDash app and website, our Merchant Portal and tablet, and our Dasher app running. We hire the best and expect the best from our team.
Credit card processing: With the exception of Storefront (where you only pay a credit card processing fee* with no additional commissions, monthly fees or per-order fees), all DoorDash offerings include credit card processing, so you have less to worry about when it comes to overhead expenses.
*2.9% of the total transaction amount + $0.30 per order
You can change your plan any time in the Merchant Portal. Plans may take 5 business days to process changes, so it is not feasible to change your plan more often than about one time per week.
We encourage merchants to try a plan for a minimum of 2-3 weeks before switching in order to get the most representative picture of how well each plan works for your business.
Merchant partners can either choose to receive a weekly direct deposit from DoorDash or opt in to daily payouts at no charge.
In the US and Canada, DoorDash Basic partners start with a 7-day free trial, and DoorDash Plus and Premier partners start with a 30-day free trial. This means delivery and pickup commissions are 0%, so you can try the partnership plan* that works best for you. Tablet fees are also $0 for the duration of the trial. After the trial, there is a weekly tablet fee of $6 in the US, $3 in Canada, and $0 in Australia. Point of sale integrations are free.
After your free trial, you’ll be enrolled at the commission and tablet fees indicated in your "Merchant Signup Sheet."
You can change your plan at any point in your trial (and after your trial) within the Settings in the Merchant Portal.
*Partnership plans (Basic, Plus, Premier) are available for restaurants with 75 or fewer locations in Canada or the US.
If you switch plans in the middle of your trial, your free trial ends, and you will be enrolled in your new plan, paying that plan’s commission rate, within the next 5 business days. If you do not want to end your free trial early, we suggest setting a calendar reminder and logging in to update your plan 5 or fewer days before your trial ends.
Yes, you can opt out of your free trial at any time. Please reference this resource to learn more.
