LoopAI builds your weekly DoorDash Journal Entries based on transaction-level data for each sales period (Monday to Sunday) and this accrual-based approach ensures that revenue and fees are recognized when the order activity occurs.

To validate your Loop Journal Entries with DoorDash’s internal records, we recommend comparing entries with DoorDash’s Transaction Breakdown Reports.

1. Navigate to Balance → Journal Entry Automation → Journal Entries

2. Filter by:

   • Location(s) you wish to review

   • Marketplace: DoorDash

   • Date Range: Use the sales week range

   • The corresponding Journal Entry will appear.

   • You can download Journal Entries in CSV as well by clicking "Download Journal Entries" 

Note: DoorDash typically releases payout reports on Thursday for the prior Monday–Sunday sales week.

1. Log in to your DoorDash Merchant Portal.

2. Navigate to Reports → Create Report.

3. Select the following:

   • Report Type: Financials and click Next

   • Choose Stores: Choose the location(s) you are validating

   • Date Range: Match the same sales period as Loop JE (e.g., March 10–16)

   • Data Type: Transaction Overview and Breakdown

4. Click Create Report.

5. Once the report is ready, find it under the Reports section and download the file.

Step 3: Compare Key Values

Open the Zip File and you can validate key values directly between the downloaded summarised transactions and the Loop Journal Entry.

📌 Weekly Alignment:
DoorDash's payout reports generated on Thursday are typically aligned with the sales week. However, you might occasionally see items in your payout report that relate to earlier transactions. These are still captured in Loop based on when the transaction occurred, not when it was paid out, ensuring your GL reflects accrual-based accounting accurately.
