Why your DoorDash effective fee is higher than your contract
Why is my DoorDash effective fee higher than the contracted rate?
Your contract is your floor, not your ceiling. Promotions, ad credits, dispute chargebacks, and refund-class voids quietly stack on top. We sum every line of the DoorDash MFS settlement and divide by gross sales — that's your real effective rate. Operators routinely see 3-7 points of leak above contract.
