Frequently Asked Questions
How it works
This is the right question to ask. A few things that affect the math: pickup orders are just 6% on every plan, not 30%. Many merchants run a mix of both. DoorDash orders are also often incremental — meaning customers who wouldn’t have found or visited you otherwise — so the comparison isn’t always delivery margin vs. your standard margin. It’s delivery margin vs. no order at all. That said, the math is different for every business, and it’s worth running your own numbers before committing to a plan. Also, you can set different prices for delivery orders if you want. Many restaurants do.
You pay a percentage of each order’s subtotal — that’s it. No activation fee, no subscription fee, no payment processing fee. The commission covers your store being listed and marketed on DoorDash, Dasher logistics, customer support, and credit card processing.
Most new merchants start with Plus. You can switch plans any time in the Merchant Portal, and changes take up to five business days to process. We’d suggest trying a plan for two to three weeks before switching — that’s usually enough time to get a representative picture of order volume.
There are no activation fees, subscription fees, software fees, or cancellation fees. The only additional costs come if you opt into extras: a DoorDash Tablet ($6/week after your trial) or optional marketing tools like Promotions and Sponsored Listings. Online Ordering orders are commission-free but do carry a payment processing fee.
¹Partnership Plans are available for restaurants with 75 or fewer locations in the US. 6% Pickup is available to all partners in the US who comply with the DoorDash Merchant Terms of Service, including having DoorDash Pickup menu prices match in-store prices.

⁴Premier Merchants who have not yet completed their DoorDash complimentary photoshoot are eligible to receive a $200 payment to cover food prep, setup, or other costs after completing their complimentary photoshoot. Premier Merchants that are outside of the DoorDash photoshoot service area are eligible to receive the $200 payment after uploading 10 approved photos to their menus. If a Premier Merchant has previously received a $300 incentive payment from DoorDash for uploading menu photos, they will not be eligible for this $200 payment. Amount of payments are inclusive of any applicable taxes.
