Frequently asked questions
15% on the Basic plan, 25% on Plus and 30% on Premier for delivery orders; pickup orders are 6% on all plans. Rates are per DoorDash's published merchant plan page.
Premier buys top placement in search and lower customer delivery fees, which usually raises order volume. Compare the extra 15 points of commission against the margin on the extra orders it actually brings you.
No monthly subscription or signup fee for marketplace plans — the commission is the platform charge. Optional marketing programs (promotions, ads) cost extra when you run them.
To hold dine-in margin at a 25% commission you'd need prices roughly a third higher before other costs — divide your target net by (1 − commission rate) as a starting point, and check your local pricing rules.
Commission is charged on the order subtotal. This calculator works on the order values you enter, so enter pre-tax subtotals to mirror your merchant statement.
