Navigating the DoorDash portal for necessary financial data can be complex, which is why at Loop, we've streamlined this process. However, self-validation of GL entries can enhance your confidence in the data provided by Loop. This guide helps you understand and validate financial information from DoorDash reports and compare them with your chart of accounts.
