[Legacy] Get started with the developer platform
Quick overview of how to use the sandbox and production environments with separate developer accounts
Announcement
The Developer Dashboard is on the legacy developer platform. If you have previously approved apps on this platform, you can continue to use the Developer Dashboard to manage the apps. The developer platform requires two separate developer accounts to access the sandbox and production environments.
All new developer accounts in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific are created on the global developer platform.
Use the following topics to work with the legacy developer platform—sandbox and production environments.
Sandbox environment
Use to create test merchants and test apps.
Production environment
Use to create an app and submit the developer account and app for approval.
