Update your Test Store in the Portal

• Partners can self-activate their test stores immediately after successfully pushing or pulling their initial menu.

View your test store in Merchant Portal

Once you have a test store created and you are an administrator in your organization’s Developer Portal, you can log in to the DoorDash Merchant Portal to view the store from the merchant-facing perspective.

Merchant Portal Access

When a test store is created, DoorDash automatically creates a default business for your developer account (if one does not already exist).

• Merchant Portal access is granted at the business level, not the store level.
• Merchant Portal access is automatically provisioned to all developer members who exist at the time the business/test store is created.
• Any members added to the organization after the business is created will not automatically have access. These members must be manually added as operators in the Merchant Portal.

Tip: To ensure all developers in your organization have Merchant Portal access, add them to your developer organization before creating your first test store.
