What is Online Ordering?

Online Ordering lets you accept pickup and delivery orders directly from your own channels — such as your website, Google Business Profile, Yelp, and social media.

Orders placed through Online Ordering are sent to your DoorDash tablet or point-of-sale (POS) integration. Customers can pay online, delivery orders are fulfilled by Dashers, and pickup orders are collected in store.

When you sign up for DoorDash Marketplace, you automatically get access to Online Ordering at no additional cost. To start receiving commission-free* Online Ordering orders, add your Online Ordering link to your website.

  1. Log in to the Merchant Portal

  2. In the left navigation, select Commerce Platform

  3. Click Get started

    Mx - Portal - Commerce Platform - Online Ordering Feature

  4. Select the color and logo to use on your Online Ordering page

    Mx - Portal - Online Ordering Set Up

  5. Once added, go to Channels and select Commerce Platform

  6. Copy your unique Online Ordering link

  7. Add the link to your website

How do customers order from my restaurant with Google?

Mx - Google Food Ordering - Mobile

Online Ordering integrates with Google Search and Maps, allowing customers to find, order, and reorder from your restaurant without leaving Google.

When you sign up for DoorDash:

  • Your Online Ordering menu automatically appears on your Google Business Profile

  • Customers can place orders through the Order Online button

  • Orders are processed the same as all Online Ordering orders

Optimize your Google Business Profile for orders

To ensure customers can order successfully:

  1. Claim or create your Google Business Profile

  2. Make sure your business name and address match your DoorDash record

  3. Go to Food ordering, then select Manage links, and confirm your Online Ordering link appears

If you need help, contact Google Support.

Some customers prefer ordering from your website instead of directly through Google. You can add your Online Ordering link so customers can easily choose either option.

  1. Go to your Google Business Profile

  2. Select Edit profile, then Business information, then Contact

  3. Add your Online Ordering link to the Website or Menu field

  4. Select Save

Once a customer clicks Order online, they can browse your menu, add items to their cart, and check out — all without leaving Google. These orders are processed as Online Ordering orders and remain commission-free*.

Note that you can remove your Online Ordering like from Google at any time by submitting the opt-out form.

If you haven't claimed your Yelp business page, start there first.

Orders placed through your website, Google, Yelp, or social profiles are all processed as Online Ordering orders.
