📈 DoorDash expands with Ibotta
DoorDash announced a partnership with Ibotta to integrate digital coupons into its platform. The deal offers savings on groceries, beauty, alcohol, and more. This partnership will leverage Ibotta’s Performance Network (IPN), which connects brands with consumers through personalized promotions. DoorDash's Vice President Fuad Hannon emphasized how this partnership will allow brands to engage consumers during their shopping journey. With over 115,000 non-restaurant retailers in North America, DoorDash is expanding its role beyond food delivery.
🤖 AI powers better deals
Ibotta’s IPN uses AI to optimize deals and maximize return on investment for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands. Bryan Leach, CEO of Ibotta, noted that this partnership will help brands reach new audiences and increase market share. IPN’s pay-per-sale efficiency ensures that promotions are cost-effective. This move aligns with a broader trend in e-commerce to emphasize affordability, as consumers remain price-sensitive in 2025.
🛒 Competition heats up
Ibotta has also partnered with other major retailers like Family Dollar, Schuck Markets, and Instacart within the past year. By partnering with DoorDash, Ibotta is cementing its role as a key player in the digital promotions landscape. This collaboration will offer DoorDash users savings at the point of purchase, making it a compelling option for shoppers. DoorDash, known primarily for food delivery, is now positioning itself as a broader e-commerce platform, adding value for its users.
📅 When will it go live?
The Ibotta-provided offers will roll out on DoorDash’s Marketplace later in 2025. This addition is expected to increase user engagement and sales for brands utilizing the platform. As savings become a focal point for online retail, this partnership could redefine how consumers interact with DoorDash. The multi-year deal underscores DoorDash’s commitment to diversifying its offerings and capturing a larger share of the e-commerce market.
