How to view your DoorDash monthly statement

To help reconcile your monthly transactions, monthly statements will be available by the 5th day of every month.

Important: 

  • The monthly statement includes all transactions completed within the calendar month. The monthly statement is different from the sum of all payouts within a month since payout dates are not the same as transaction dates. 

  • Payouts include transactions completed during the payout period, which may straddle two months. For example, a payout period may cover January 27 through February 2. If you want to view all transactions instead of payouts by month, navigate to Transactions and filter by a calendar month. 

  1. Log in to the Merchant Portal.

  2. Select Financials in the left column, then select Statements. Here you’ll view your monthly statement broken down by month.
