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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
