Frequently Asked Questions
A merchant cash advance gives a business upfront cash in exchange for a fixed percentage of future gross sales. With DoorDash Capital, payment scales with your daily DoorDash sales, rather than a fixed loan payment.
Your DoorDash Capital can be used for any business need, including equipment, inventory, staffing, repairs, expansion, and seasonal demand.
Eligibility is limited to select merchants and requires a sustained sales history with DoorDash. If you aren’t eligible today, you may become eligible in the future once you grow your DoorDash stores sales. Parafin is continuously re-evaluating which merchants qualify for the program based on sales performance on DoorDash.
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.
The total payment amount of your DoorDash Capital offer includes just two things: the amount of the offer and the one-time fee. No hidden fees at any time.
Payments are based on a fixed percentage of your DoorDash gross sales. When sales are higher, payments are higher; when sales are lower, payments are lower.
Once you’ve paid off 25% of your advance, you can make manual payments at any time. There’s no prepayment penalty and no additional fee for paying early. The capital fee is fixed when you accept the offer, so paying down your balance faster never costs you more.
Payments vary with your sales. When you sell more, you pay more. When your sales decrease, your payments decrease. If you don’t make any sales during a payment period, you won’t owe a payment.
If approved, funds are typically available within 1-2 business days.
