Development environments
The BILL developer program provides two environments for you to build and test your application with the BILL API. When you perform BILL operations with our API, such as create a vendor or pay a vendor, BILL also presents the results of these operations in the BILL web app.
API sandbox
You can test with the BILL API in the sandbox environment. This is a standalone environment and any testing with the API in sandbox does not affect your solution in the production environment.

Sandbox API base URL | https://gateway.stage.bill.com/connect |
Sandbox web app URL | https://login.stage.us.bill.com |
You have access to all BILL API services in sandbox with three exceptions.
- BILL integrations with other accounting softwares is not available in API sandbox.
- Money movement to and from live bank accounts is not available in API sandbox.
- The BILL Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) is not available in API sandbox. See Bills detected by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the BILL Help Center for more information.
While money movement to and from bank accounts is not available in the API sandbox environment, you can set up a test bank account in API sandbox for submitting test payments.
IMPORTANT
Any BILL pricing plan or subscription is not charged in the API sandbox environment.
You can use our test bank account or test credit card for setting up a subscription for your sandbox developer account. When the trial period for your sandbox account is over, you can use the same test credit card to continue using your account.
See API sandbox bank account setup for more information.
API production
Your go-live BILL solution is available to your customers in the production environment. This environment enables you to build with all BILL services, including integrations with other accounting softwares and money movement between live bank accounts.
