Send Order Pickup Instructions to Dasher

Prerequisites​

To allow Merchants to send pickup instructions, this must be built out on the Provider side and then the value can be passed to DoorDash within order confirmation.

Overview​

DoorDash has a field within the order confirmation process to allow for a merchant to send a tailored message with instructions for the Dasher per each distinct order. The field that can be used is "pickup_instructions".

Get Started​

Step 1: Identify endpoint​

Identify the order confirmation endpoint

PATCH https://openapi.doordash.com/marketplace/api/v1/orders/{id}

Step 2: Add pickup_instructions field​

Add the additional field "pickup_instructions" within the order confirmation PATCH body.

Example:

{

"merchant_supplied_id": "string",

"order_status": "success",

"failure_reason": "string",

"prep_time": "2021-10-13T17:32:59Z"

"pickup_instructions": "string"

}

Step 3: Implement​

Implement a way for Merchants to add pickup instructions through the POS which can be passed to DoorDash which will be shared with the Dasher.

Progress Check​

A test order can be placed and within the order confirmation you can ensure that the "pickup_instructions" are being sent within the body and are sent successfully.

  1. Place and receive a test order.
  2. Confirm the test order. and ensure the "pickup_instructions" are included within the Confirm Order webhook.

Next Steps​

Present to your Merchants on how they can leverage this functionality. Such as:

  1. Merchants are generating short codes to expedite order identification/retrieval by

Dasher in-store

  1. Item specific instructions to ensure proper handling during fulfillment (I.e hot

handle with care, retrieve from pickup rack via side door, etc.)
