Build Dual Pricing (delivery vs. pickup)

Overview​

Dual Pricing allows integration partners to pass two prices on an item, option, or option extra within a single menu: a price and a base_price. This feature enables merchants to offer uninflated or in-store pricing for Pickup orders placed through DoorDash and for first-party orders placed through DoorDash Online Ordering/Storefront, while maintaining a single shared menu across DoorDash channels. Note that Dual Pricing is required for all partners to support in-store pricing on Marketplace Pickup orders.

How to Implement Dual Pricing​

When creating or updating a menu through your DoorDash integration, include both a price and a base_price for each item, for example:

{
  "name": "Cheeseburger",
  "merchant_supplied_id": "item_001",
  "price": 1299,
  "base_price": 1099
}

In the above example, the $12.99 price will be used for all Marketplace delivery orders. The $10.99 base_price value will be used for:

  • Marketplace pickup orders
  • First party pickup orders placed through DoorDash Online Ordering/Storefront
  • First party delivery orders placed through DoorDash Online Ordering/Storefront

See here for additional details on how to implement.

Using Dual Pricing in Combination with Channel-Based Menus​

Channel-Based Menus (also referred to as Dual Menus) is an additional feature that allows merchants to configure a separate menu for each DoorDash channel.

The experience field on the menu payload will determine the channel on which the supplied menu is displayed. For example, passing a value of storefront will result in the menu being displayed for all first party orders.

Partners who support both Dual Pricing and Channel-Based menus can use these features together to offer merchants added flexibility and control over their pricing, e.g. differentiating between first party pickup and delivery pricing.

If interested in using Dual Pricing in combination with Channel-Based Menus, please contact your DoorDash Technical Account Manager to learn more.
