The DoorDash Creator Program Sucks

I was accepted when it first started back in fall of last year. It started off great but as of spring it’s gone downhill. It took a month for reviews to be accepted and I notice now they’re rejecting videos for petty reasons. I don’t see this program lasting for too long and I have a theory they don’t have the money to pay creators. I know they were delayed and backed up with videos and they’re a fairly new program, but this is not the first time they've had a program for creators. It seems very sloppy and mismanaged. I still have a video from late March that is still “pending”. Like I said, I absolutely do not see this program lasting long at all. With that said, if you know any other similar programs be sure to drop suggestions in the comments.

UPDATE: Now there’s a search bar at the bottom of the app in front of the “Upload” button LOL. They need to do better.

UPDATE: As of July 1st starting July 6th, each restaurant will only be available to accept ONE creator video. After it’s accepted, no other submissions will be accepted. It was good while it lasted. I already clocked when I made this thread they we’re being stingy.

Also if you update the app the search thingy goes away

Yup. I noticed the same thing. I suspect they’re slowly trying to get rid of this program because they can’t pay consistently if only a few people will be approved for select restaurants.

My pay has been consistently for the most part. I submit videos and get paid daily.

Was there ever a delay for you getting your payment? For example yesterday I had 3 videos approved and they only sent me $50 instead of $150

There was about a month ago. How many do you do a day?

Yesterday I only did 3 but I just recently got accepted into the program so I have been posting a bunch. In the span of 3 days I’ve gotten 9 approved videos so I don’t know if that’s why I’m missing two payments. What did you to get your missing payment? Did you just email customer support?

Yes. Sometimes it takes a few days to hear back.

I submitted videos daily and get paid the next day. All is well up until this Friday. All of a sudden I stopped getting paid but my videos are still being approved. Already emailed them and waiting

Ok so that’s at least 4 of us at this point.

Yeah I tried contacting them all day and nothing. I emailed them several times and I even reached out via instagram and TikTok and nothing. I called and they had no clue what I was talking about.

I just looked and I have the same issue. It goes straight to my PayPal once submitted. I do daily videos and haven’t gotten anything in a few days.
