Send Pickup Instructions

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".

Pickup_instructions_diagram

There are 2 moments in the pickup process when the Dasher sees instructions:

  • When they first receive the order
  • When they arrive at the store

There are 4 types of pickup instructions that can be utilized and shown to the Dasher:

  • Default store-level pickup instructions (set in the Merchant Portal)
  • Arrival store-level pickup instructions (set in the Merchant Portal)
  • Order-level pickup instructions (sent via the API)
  • Dynamic store-level instructions (set in the Merchant Portal)

No type of pickup instructions will overwrite or replace another type

  • If more than 1 type of pickup instructions are utilized they will all display to the Dasher in the app

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.)
