Toast maintains and provides continuous access to multiple, independent service environments for use by API integration clients during development, testing, and production. These environments are:
-
Sandbox - used for integration testing. For more information, see Sandbox environment.
-
Production - used for live transactions at active restaurants. For more information, see Production environment.
The Toast technical partnership team periodically announces maintenance periods for which a service may be read only or unavailable.
You must register a separate API client account for each environment. See Toast API accounts.
