Use Businesses & Stores by auto-onboarding

caution

Using auto-onboarding to create businesses & stores is not recommended for new integrations. If you:

• Are building a Drive (classic) integration for the first time, you should use the Business & Store APIs.
• Have an existing Drive (classic) integration, consider upgrading to the Business & Store APIs.

API: Drive (classic)

This doc covers the Drive (classic) API. If you're using the Drive API, see the how-to guide for using businesses & stores with Drive.

DoorDash uses businesses to represent a legal entity or owner and stores to represent a single location that makes deliveries.

Auto-onboarding a business & store

Auto-onboarding is part of the create delivery API. To use auto-onboarding, you provide an external_business_name and external_store_id in the create delivery request.

HTTP POST /drive/v1/deliveries

{
    "external_delivery_id": "D-1763",
    // other fields

    "external_business_name": "b-234-dzs",
    "external_store_id": "s-475-fnr",
}

Use a unique external_business_name for every business you want to create and a unique external_store_id for every store under that business.
