Plugin Description
With the Local Delivery by DoorDash plugin for WooCommerce, your store can offer convenient local delivery to customers right from within the shopping cart — no app needed. Businesses of all sizes and across industries can use this plugin to tap into the same network of 1+ million monthly active Dashers that powers top retailers, grocery stores, restaurants, and thousands of other businesses around the US.
How It Works
As customers enter the shopping cart or checkout page, they are quoted a local delivery rate much like other standard shipping methods. The merchant collects the customer’s payment and then pays DoorDash directly for the fulfilled delivery, meaning the customer doesn’t need a DoorDash account or app. Both customers and merchants are able to track deliveries in real time.
Merchants do not need to be listed on DoorDash Marketplace (i.e., the DoorDash app or website) to use this plugin. However, all merchants must sign up for a free DoorDash Developer account to get API credentials and be approved to launch.
