What DoorDash costs on real order volumes

Example: $10,000/month in DoorDash delivery orders.

USA: Basic $1,500; Plus $2,500; Premier $3,000 per month.
Canada: Basic $2,000; Plus $2,500 (more if many orders are DashPass at 27%); Premier $2,900 per month.
Tablet: about $26/month in the US ($6 × 52 weeks ÷ 12) or about $13/month in Canada.
Pickup example: $2,000/month in pickup orders costs $120 in the US (6%) or $160 in Canada on Plus (8%).

If a quarter of those delivery orders are regulars, that is $2,500 of sales. On Plus, that is $625/month in commission, versus one flat monthly fee for AIOrders (see pricing). Use the calculator with your own numbers.

How to lower your DoorDash fees

Match the plan to the goal. Basic is the cheapest commission; pay for Plus or Premier only if the extra reach brings new customers.
Push pickup. Pickup is 6% in the US and 8–10% in Canada, far below delivery rates.
Accept orders through your POS or AIOrders' Order Hub instead of paying for another tablet (Order Hub, as of Oct 2026).
Move regulars to direct ordering. Your own ordering page plus loyalty rewards turns repeat app customers into commission-free customers.
Use flat-fee delivery for direct orders. In Canada, DoorDash Drive is $6.99–$10.99 per delivery; AIOrders integrates Uber Direct for the same purpose.

Keep more of every order with AIOrders

AIOrders offers a flat-monthly plan with 0% order fees instead of a percentage of each order; its entry plan adds a per-order fee (see pricing). The company is based in Vancouver, BC (aiorders.io, as of Oct 2026).

Commission-free online ordering on your own domain, with Uber Direct delivery integration so you only pay for actual deliveries (product page, as of Oct 2026).
Order Hub: DoorDash, Uber Eats, SkipTheDishes, Grubhub and website orders in one system, synced to Square, Clover or Toast (on other POS systems, orders still print and show in Order Hub) (Order Hub, as of Oct 2026).
