Steps
Create a business object representing the merchant brand that owns one or more physical locations
Create one or more store objects underneath that business, each representing a physical pickup location, using the Business & Store API
Reference the created pickup_external_business_id and pickup_external_store_id when requesting a delivery quote or creating a delivery, instead of passing raw pickup address details on every call
For accounts still on auto-onboarding, follow DoorDash's documented upgrade path to migrate to explicit Business & Store API management
Update store-level metadata (e.g. location details Dashers need to find the store) centrally on the store object so it's reused consistently across all deliveries from that store
Known gotchas
This data model applies to both the current Drive API and Drive (classic) — the two aren't interchangeable, so confirm which Drive API version the integration targets before creating businesses/stores
Skipping Business & Store setup and always passing raw pickup details inline forfeits DoorDash's improved store-location accuracy for Dashers and can increase pickup errors
Auto-onboarded accounts need an explicit upgrade step to start using Business & Store IDs — it isn't automatic just because the API supports it
