We’ve been busy making improvements to the Drive API and Developer Portal so you can create and manage deliveries more easily. Here’s what’s new:

• Customize the SMS messagessent to customers about their deliveries.
• Leverage new Drive API capabilities: update tip when accepting a quote, provide item-level details, specify what vehicle types are allowed for your deliveries, and require signature upon delivery.
• Authenticate with the Drive APIs more easily with our new JWT utilities.

Configure SMS delivery updates​

During the course of a delivery, customers receive automated SMS notifications about the Dasher’s progress. These texts include the tracking link returned in our response to delivery creation requests, as well as status updates as the Dasher picks up the items and arrives at the dropoff location.

Depending on your business needs, you may wish to customize these SMS messages. The new Settings view in the Developer Portal allows you to do just that by controlling which SMS customers receive and the text for each message. In the case that you’re managing multiple businesses and/or stores, you’re also able to control SMS notifications at the business level, for both sandbox and production environments.

SMS message customization is just the first feature we’re introducing as part of the Settings view. Stay tuned as we roll out new features to give you greater control over your DoorDash integration and the delivery experience!

JWT utilities​

In order to communicate securely with DoorDash, your application must pass a JSON Web Token (JWT) to authenticate with our API. We've compiled a list of tools and resources to help your development team get started with JWTs.

Sample Applications on GitHub​

You can download and clone sample applications that communicate with the DoorDash API from GitHub. Sample applications include Node.js, Python, PHP, Java, Kotlin, and C#/.NET.

Update tip when accepting a quote​

By popular demand, we’ve updated the Drive API to allow tip to be updated when accepting a delivery quote. This is particularly useful in an e-commerce checkout experience where the customer may wish to get a delivery quote when they start their order, and then add a tip just before completing checkout.

Allowed vehicles​

With the new dasher_allowed_vehicles field on the Drive API, you can now control the vehicle type(s) that a Dasher can use to complete your delivery. For example, as a laundry service moving large bags of clothes, you can specify that your deliveries should be handled by a Dasher in a car.

Item-level details​

Provide added details about the items being delivered, such as price, for more accurate deliveries and refunds.

After creating a new DoorDash Developer account, your next step is to explore the DoorDash Drive API. In order to communicate securely with DoorDash, your application must pass a JSON Web Token (JWT) to authenticate with our API. You’ll first want to create sandbox DoorDash Drive API credentials that will be used in generating a JWT. Many languages and frameworks provide libraries to create JWT for you. You can find examples for popular language in the step-by-step guide for creating a DoorDash JWT.

As you develop against the DoorDash Drive API, you can use the make-doordash-jwt CLI to generate a DoorDash JWT on Windows and Mac. When using Postman you use the DoorDash Postman Collection to create and send the JWT for each call.

You can learn more about the DoorDash JWT Format if your stack doesn’t support JWT creation, or if you’re looking to validate the output of your solution. Additionally, tools are available to you that illustrate the three parts of the DoorDash JWT in the JSFiddle JWT Sample and WinForms Sample App (for Windows users). A popular utility developers use to validate a JWT is the Auth0 JWT Debugger (check off the “secret base64 encoded” option when using the credentials provided by DoorDash. Please keep in mind that providing secrets on public websites carries a risk, and you should never expose your production credential secrets.

The DoorDash SDK Sample Application provides a prototype full stack solution with React and Node Express server that uses the Doordash SDK to communicate with the DoorDash Drive API. For developers that use WooCommerce, the JWT creation is provided in the plugin, the Get Started (WooCommerce Plugin) provides details on adding your credentials and configuring the plugin.
