Why DoorDash Capital?
Fast and convenient funding
If you’re eligible*, you’ll see a pre-approved amount in your Merchant Portal. If you accept, you can receive the funds in as little as 1-2 days.
Transparent pricing
Pay a one-time flat fee and that’s it. Payment will be automatically deducted from your payout based on a percentage of your DoorDash sales.
Use the funds on business expenses
You determine how to use the capital — you can pay employees, cover unexpected expenses, upgrade equipment, and more.
Financing for merchants
Get easy access to capital (typically $5,000 to $15,000 or more) through a partnership between DoorDash and Parafin**, a business financing provider. There are no hidden charges, no recurring interest, and no prepayment penalty. The proposed financing is a cash advance, not a loan. There’s also no need to apply — eligible merchants can view, customize, and accept an offer in the Merchant Portal and receive funds in as little as 1-2 business days.
Hassle-free payment
Once an offer is accepted, your offer link becomes a payment dashboard where you can monitor your payment progress and make early payments if you’d like. Payments are taken as a percentage of your DoorDash sales.

Frequently asked questions
Eligibility is limited to select merchants and requires a sustained sales history with DoorDash. If you aren't eligible today, once you grow your DoorDash stores sales, you might become eligible in the future. Parafin is continuously re-evaluating which merchants qualify for the program based on sales performance on DoorDash.
Your cash advance will be paid with a fixed percentage of your sales. Sales-based repayments match your current sales payout schedule (daily, weekly, etc). You typically don’t have to initiate any payments yourself, it’s all automatic. Payments are either automatically debited from your designated bank account or deducted from your sales payouts until the balance is fully paid.
The total payment amount of your DoorDash Capital offer includes just two things: the amount of the offer and the one-time fee. No hidden fees at any time.
Payments are based on a fixed percentage of sales, so there is no fixed term.
No, DoorDash Capital doesn’t affect your credit score. There are no credit checks, and we don’t require a personal guarantee for your business to get an offer.
Parafin is a business financing provider focused on supporting small businesses. DoorDash has partnered with Parafin to offer funding to DoorDash merchants. All financing is governed by Parafin terms and conditions.
