Create and accept quotes

DoorDash Drive has two ways to create deliveries:

  1. You can call the Create Delivery API directly, without first requesting a delivery quote
  2. You can call the Delivery Quote API and Accept Delivery Quote API

The second way is DoorDash's recommendation, as it allows you to confirm that a delivery is servicable and get back a price that you can show to the customer as part of a checkout process.

Quote​

Before you create a delivery, you can request a quote using the Delivery Quote API. When you request a quote, you provide the pickup and dropoff addresses and DoorDash will confirm that the addresses are in a serviceable area, calculate the delivery fee, and estimate the times for the order to be picked up and dropped off. You'll receive a response with the time estimates, the fees, and other delivery details:

{
    ... (other delivery details)
    "delivery_status": "quote",
    "pickup_time_estimated": "2018-08-22T17:20:28Z",
    "dropoff_time_estimated": "2018-08-22T17:20:28Z",
    "currency": "USD",
    "fee": 1900,
    ...
}

Accept​

If the fee and time ranges are acceptable, you accept the quote when you're ready using the Accept Delivery Quote API. You can edit the tip field as part of accepting a quote. Just pass it in the body of the request:

{
    "tip": "600"
}

You'll receive a response with an updated delivery status and a tracking URL, among other data:

{
    ... (other delivery details)
    "delivery_status": "created",
    "tracking_url": "https://doordash.com/tracking?id=...",
    ...
}
