Steps
Submit the Marketplace integration interest form; DoorDash accepts a limited number of new Marketplace integrations per year and may state the pipeline is at capacity
Once accepted, create a Developer Portal organization and get paired with a DoorDash technical account manager to scope the integration
Build against sandbox credentials using JWT-based authentication for the Menu and Order APIs
Request production access only after the integration is feature-complete; DoorDash requires a scheduled live certification session (roughly two hours) to verify the integration before granting production access
Plan timelines assuming certification, not development, is the long pole — production access is contingent on passing that live review
Known gotchas
Unlike DoorDash Drive (largely self-serve), Marketplace integration is not open access — expect to wait for a technical account manager and a certification slot
DoorDash has periodically paused accepting new Marketplace integration partners while building self-serve tooling; confirm current intake status before promising a timeline
Sandbox behavior passing does not guarantee production approval; the live certification session can require rework
