01Overview
About the DoorDash affiliate program
DoorDash is the largest food delivery app in the United States and also operates in Canada and Australia, connecting customers with restaurants, grocery stores, convenience shops and pharmacies. Its DashPass membership lowers fees on eligible orders, and for millions of households the app has become the default way to order in.

As an affiliate program DoorDash is a volume play. Individual orders are small, the payout per order is modest, and a meaningful share of orders through LinkApprove are cancelled before they confirm. Where it earns is with audiences who order often, such as students, busy professionals and followers of food creators who want to try a dish they have just seen.
DoorDash orders through LinkApprove average around €11 and roughly one in five is cancelled before it confirms, which is higher than most retail programs, so expect to need high click volume for meaningful earnings.

How much does the DoorDash affiliate program pay?
The DoorDash affiliate program pays up to €2.10 per order (paid per order, from €0.01 to €2.10, across the US, Canada and Australia). Average order value on the program is €11, so commission per conversion is calculated against that basket rather than a single item price.
What is the cookie duration for the DoorDash affiliate program?
The DoorDash program has a 30-day cookie window. A purchase made after that window has closed is not attributed to you, which is why content timing matters on this program.
How do I join the DoorDash affiliate program?
You can join the DoorDash affiliate program through LinkApprove without applying to DoorDash directly. LinkApprove already holds the upstream approval, so once your LinkApprove partner account is approved you can generate tracked links to any DoorDash product page immediately.
Which countries does the DoorDash affiliate program accept?
The DoorDash program accepts traffic from US, CA, AU. Traffic from outside these regions may not be attributed even when the click is tracked, so check your audience geography before committing content to it.
