Is there a sign-up or activation fee on DoorDash?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
No. DoorDash's FAQ lists no activation, subscription, software, cancellation or contract fee. You pay commission on orders, plus optional extras such as tablet rent and marketing.
- Optional costs: tablet rent, marketing spend (Promotions, Sponsored Listings), and card processing on Online Ordering orders only.
- No termination fee: you can end the agreement on 7 days' written notice. Pricing pages say no contract and no fixed cost.
- You still pay commission on orders. See DoorDash commission in the US, Canada or Australia.
- Tablet rent is free during the free trial, and POS, email or fax order receiving costs nothing.
- Want orders with no commission? See alternatives to DoorDash.
