# Connect DoorDash

Use this guide with the DoorDash provider panel in **Connect → Delivery services**. Confirm the approved Drive variant and provider environment first.

## Confirm the intended DoorDash workflow

Confirm whether the project uses DoorDash Drive or Drive Classic. Use the approved provider account and confirm the stores that will dispatch through it.

## Add and confirm the plugin

Open [Delivery services](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/connect/delivery-services/) and look for the DoorDash record. If its plugin or company is missing, coordinate provisioning before setting up credentials. Use the provider’s setup action or guide if shown.

## Enter DoorDash account credentials

Open **Credentials** for the intended record. Obtain the approved access key through [DoorDash’s developer guide](https://developer.doordash.com/en-US/docs/drive/tutorials/get_started/#create-an-access-key) and enter only the fields the panel requests. Keep all values private.

## Review the delivery company and Driver group

Review the company and associated group under [Delivery companies](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/addons/delivery-companies/) and the business assignments in the provider panel. Use **Settings → Drivers → Delivery companies** for project-wide rules.

## Configure DoorDash status updates

Confirm the status-update setup in the provider’s approved procedure. Use the endpoint and credential that apply to the intended Drive variant. Keep any key or generated link private.

## Test and obtain provider acceptance

Verify the setup using an authorized test order and check the DoorDash result. Follow the provider’s approval steps before enabling production dispatch.

## Know what this setup does not prove

A saved connection does not show that DoorDash accepted an order or delivered it. Verify dispatch and order status for the test separately.
