DoorDash is announcing an integration that gives independent Shopify retailers a direct, seamless path to integrate with DoorDash through the tools they already use every day. In our recent Economic Impact Report, 90% of merchants say DoorDash has helped them reach new consumers they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to reach, while 85% of consumers say DoorDash makes it easier to support local businesses in their community.
If it’s in your area, it’s on DoorDash. That’s the promise driving today’s news. Local, independent retailers are the heart of local commerce, and they deserve tools that work as hard as they do.
DoorDash is now available as a native sales channel inside Shopify’s App Store — meaning any Shopify merchants with a brick-and-mortar presence in the US can add their product catalog to the DoorDash marketplace by enabling a new channel, with no separate onboarding process, manual catalog uploads, or disruption to existing operations. For consumers, this means more local stores and more delivery options in your neighborhood, available on demand.

For retailers:
- Merchants keep their existing workflow. No changes to existing workflows. Shopify merchants extend their reach to DoorDash consumers without leaving the platform they already rely on.
- Go live in days, not weeks: Self-serve integration onboarding is built directly into the Shopify experience, cutting setup time from weeks to days.
- Products and inventory stay in sync automatically — so when a customer orders, what’s on DoorDash always matches what’s on the shelf. No duplicate data entry, no manual updates when stock changes. Merchants manage their catalog in Shopify, and it reflects on DoorDash in real time, keeping products moving to customers as fast as possible.
