Steps
Confirm the store already exists on DoorDash Marketplace and that cart items map to existing Marketplace menu items, a hard requirement of the Checkout API
POST cart, currency, consumer, delivery_address, and dropoff_preference to the create-order-session endpoint to receive an order_session_id
GET the secure checkout HTML page using the order_session_id and load it in an app webview
Let the consumer complete payment in the embedded checkout page; DoorDash returns success or an error and creates the order/delivery
Subscribe to the delivery_created webhook (sent once, with a tracking_url) to confirm the delivery was scheduled, and retry on 50x responses with backoff as documented
Known gotchas
This API's published spec was last updated in 2021 (v0.1.8) — confirm with DoorDash Drive support (drive-api-support@doordash.com) that it's still the recommended path before building on it, since DoorDash has since introduced newer Business & Store and Marketplace APIs
A consumer email must be passed so DoorDash can create/store a Stripe profile on its end — this is a hard requirement, not optional
This is distinct from the general Marketplace ordering flow and from Drive's dispatch-only delivery creation — it specifically bundles payment processing with delivery
