Sandbox Environment

About Sandbox

Sandbox environment is very similar to the Production build. Feature functionality is identical to the Production environment, with the exception of Sync capabilities.  We do not support Sync testing in the Sandbox environment.

Sandbox URLs

The Web Login page to Bill.com Sandbox environment is: https://app-sandbox.bill.com/Login

The API endpoint URL to use for the Sandbox environments is: https://api-sandbox.bill.com/api/v2/

Entities

Entities and Object IDs are unique to each environment. When you create objects in the sandbox, those IDs and details are not transferred to the Production environment. Anything created in the sandbox is separate from the Production environment.

Email Notifications

In the sandbox, email notifications are sent to users and vendors from the sandbox organization. The sandbox environment should use test email addresses to avoid confusion with real actions from the Production environment.

Money Movement

True money movement is disabled in the sandbox environment. To set up the Funding Bank Account, see Adding a bank account in the sandbox environment. To set up a recipient's bank accounts to issue payment, read more about Vendor Bank Accounts. Subscription and/or transaction fees are not charged because there is no actual money movement.

 Information: Any price plan in the sandbox can be ignored and does not represent actual pricing.
