If you run a delivery business, you’re probably earning from delivery fees. But is that all?
In 2025, successful delivery businesses don’t rely on just one income stream. They build multiple revenue channels to grow faster and stay ahead of the competition.

Let’s explore 5 powerful revenue streams you might be missing out on — and how you can start using them today.

1. Commission from Vendors

If you work with restaurants, grocery stores, or pharmacies, you can charge a commission fee for every order they receive through your platform.

Example: If a partner store sells a $100 order, and your commission is 10%, you earn $10 from that sale.

Why it works:

It scales with volume — the more vendors and customers you have, the more you earn without extra effort.


2. Subscription Plans for Stores

Offer monthly or yearly subscription packages to vendors instead of (or in addition to) commission.

What you can include:

  • Premium store placement on the app

  • Access to customer data

  • Marketing tools and analytics

Why it works:

It gives you predictable, recurring revenue and helps vendors feel more invested in your platform.


3. Priority Delivery or “Express Fees”

Customers are often willing to pay more to get their orders faster. You can offer:

  • Express delivery options

  • Scheduled delivery times

Why it works:

People value convenience and speed — and this stream adds extra cash on top of regular fees.

4. In-App Advertising

Your app or website is valuable real estate. Let vendors or external brands advertise to your users through:

  • Sponsored banners

  • Featured listings

  • Promo deals

Why it works:

It creates an additional income stream while giving visibility to vendors who want to stand out.

5. Add-on Services for Businesses

Offer value-added services to vendors, like:

  • Branded packaging

  • Loyalty program tools

  • Custom analytics dashboards

  • Delivery staff training

Why it works:

These extra services can be billed separately — and they deepen your relationship with vendors.
