What is the Square integration with DoorDash?

Square is a restaurant POS and management system. Square is also a DoorDash Preferred Integration partner — and this partnership means you can accept and fulfill orders from DoorDash Marketplace, Online Ordering, and Caviar directly from your Square POS.

What do I need before starting the Square integration process?

Before you can start integration onboarding for your store, you need three things:

  • An active DoorDash partnership 

  • An active Square for Restaurants account enrolled in the New Menus Experience

    • To enroll in Square's New Menus Experience: Visit your Square dashboard, select Menus, then Update to the new experience

  • A menu ready for DoorDash

    • You can make an existing menu ready for DoorDash or create a new menu for DoorDash by following these steps

How do I integrate Square with DoorDash?

You can complete integration through Square's self-integration steps.

  1. Sign in to your Square Dashboard

  2. Navigate to the DoorDash integration setup
