Creating Test Orders

Limited access

Marketplace APIs are not yet generally available. Please record interest in early access here.

Test orders allow you to verify that your Marketplace order integration works end-to-end. Orders placed in the DoorDash test environment flow through your integration just like live orders, so you can confirm downstream functionality.

Prerequisites

To create test orders, you must have an active test store with an active menu. You can confirm both using the Store and Menu Info endpoints.

Note: If the store is not activated or has no active menu, you'll be redirected to the DoorDash home page when trying to place a test order.

Merchant Test Order Walkthrough

Please note: If you are a Developer and have access to Developer Portal, you must utilize the testing process outlined above. The below process is only for Merchants who do not have access to Developer Portal.

Step 1: Access Your Test Store

Navigate to your test store on www.doordashtest.com. You can access this by updating your locations DoorDash URL from DoorDash.com to DoorDashTest.com.

For example: Update https://www.doordash.com/store/test-store-123456/ to https://www.doordashtest.com/store/test-store-123456/

Step 2: Sign Up or Log In

Once you're on your test store page:

• Click Log In if you already have created a test account.
• Click Sign Up to create a new test account if you do not have one.

This account will be used to place test orders and save your test payment information.

Step 3: Add Items to Your Cart

Browse your test store's menu and add one or more items to your cart. This is a good way to test:

• Item availability
• Modifiers
• Pricing accuracy
• Upsells or combos (if configured)

Step 4: Proceed to Checkout & Add Payment

Continue through the checkout process. When prompted for payment, enter Stripe test credit card credentials. These are test cards provided by Stripe that simulate real transactions without using actual funds. You can find valid test card numbers here.

Tip: This only needs to be done once per account. The card info will be saved for future orders.

Step 5: Place the Test Order

Click Place Order to submit your test order. The order will flow through to your store just like a live order:

• You should see the order in your POS, tablet, or order dashboard depending on your setup.
• The store status should update to Preparing within a few moments.

Step 6: Monitor Order Progress

Once the order is placed, you can track the order status directly on the test site. It will show each stage of the process, including confirmation and preparation.

Note: all test orders will automatically be canceled 15 minutes after the order has been placed. When the order is auto-canceled, the following will be shown within the DoorDash Test UI:

Additionally, the user who placed the test order will receive an email alerting them that their order has been canceled:
