  Toast publishes no list price for API access, but it does publish a clear four-way TIERING of how you
  get it, and the tiers differ in capability, not just in price. This supersedes the 2026-05-04 bulk
  sweep, which recorded only "contact sales" because the marketing pricing pages 403. The four
  documented access types are Partner integration, Custom integration, Standard API access, and
  Analytics API access. Only Standard API access is self-service purchasable - the customer buys it
  through the Toast Shop with their Toast Web credentials and then creates credentials themselves - and
  it buys a READ-ONLY endpoint subset. The two write-capable tiers both require Toast approval, and
  neither publishes a fee. Toast's own POS subscription, hardware and card-processing rates remain
  sales-configured per restaurant.

    and access to each restaurant is granted by that restaurant.
