How do I repay a DoorDash Capital advance?
Repayment happens automatically and is tied to your sales. Here's how it works:
A fixed percentage of your DoorDash sales goes toward repayment
Repayments follow your normal payout schedule (daily, weekly, etc.)
Payments are either deducted from sales payouts or debited from your designated bank account
You don't need to manually make payments.
What is included in the total repayment amount?
The total repayment amount includes:
The advance amount
A one-time, upfront fee
There are no additional or hidden fees at any time.
How long does it take to repay the advance?
There's no fixed repayment term. Because repayment is based on a percentage of sales:
Higher sales may shorten the repayment period
Lower sales may extend it
Any estimated duration shown is only an estimate. There's no extra cost if repayment takes longer than expected.
Does DoorDash Capital affect my credit score?
