Sandbox

data-slots=text

The sandbox environment gives you an opportunity to practice using the Marketplace EQP API without any affect on your production items.

You can run CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous delivery) simulations on the sandbox.

Differences between sandbox and production

The following list highlights some of the key differences between the sandbox and production environments:

• No human reviews take place on the sandbox.

  • Most, but not all, automated tools are run on your submissions. The Copy/Paste Detector tool is not run.
  • No technical QA reviews happen for your submissions.
  • Only automated marketing reviews are run on your submissions.

• There is no associated Commerce Marketplace store for the sandbox. As a result, the various reports endpoints will typically return an empty set of data.

• On the user interface, the sandbox is marked with a banner at the top of every page.

Additional information

• Regardless of the current state of your user profile on the production Marketplace Developer Portal, when you sign into the sandbox environment, you must rebuild your profile.
• Marketplace EQP API access keys in the sandbox are separate and distinct from production. You cannot use access keys from one environment in the other environment.
• Session tokens that are generated in the sandbox are separate and distinct from production. You cannot use session tokens from one environment in the other environment.
• If you are on the same browser, when you logout of the sandbox you are simultaneously logged out of production, and vice-versa.
