What fees do I pay?
When you place an order on DoorDash, you may be charged various fees. These fees help us pay Dashers, operate the DoorDash platform, and strive to provide the best service possible.
What fees do I pay?
Service Fee: This fee goes to DoorDash to help us operate the DoorDash platform. Service fees may increase based on the order subtotal. A flat, minimum service fee may apply on small orders.
Delivery Fee: This fee is charged on delivery orders and goes to DoorDash to help us cover costs associated with getting your order directly to you, and can vary depending on the merchant, location, and other factors, such as demand. Delivery fees currently can vary, starting at $0; DashPass members enjoy $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders (read more on DashPass below)
Small Order Fee: In some cases, this fee is charged to enable us to make small transactions worthwhile to fulfill. A fee may be charged if your order subtotal is below a certain amount. This fee goes to DoorDash.
Long Distance Fee: In some areas, DoorDash may charge this fee to help ensure consumers continue to have the option of ordering from merchants who are further away. In some countries, this fee may also be called an Expanded Range Fee. This fee goes to DoorDash.
Express Fee: In some areas, you may choose to have your delivery prioritized for an additional fee. This fee goes to DoorDash.
Regulatory Response Fee: DoorDash may charge this fee when a local or state regulation leads to increased operating costs for DoorDash. (For example, a local regulatory authority may temporarily cap the fees we may charge restaurants for operating on the DoorDash platform.) This additional fee enables us to continue offering you convenient services and ensure Dashers make meaningful earnings. Regulatory response fees are flat fees that vary based on region. This fee goes to DoorDash.
Other Mandatory Fees: In some cases, government authorities require DoorDash to charge certain fees. These fees are applied based on local regulations. Some of these fees may be retained by DoorDash when allowed, or required by law.
Note:
This list of fees is not exhaustive and may be subject to change.
What other charges might I pay when I place an order?
Estimated Tax: Estimated taxes are calculated based on local regulations as well as the order subtotal. The finalized tax will be shown on your order receipt.
Optional Dasher Tip: Every dollar you tip is an extra dollar in your Dasher’s pocket. You can tip either at checkout or immediately after the delivery. Dashers always receive 100% of customer tips, and tipping is completely optional.
