A partner sandbox is Marketo instance that is used by LaunchPoint Partners during the software development lifecycle. Partners use their sandbox to learn the ins and outs of the Marketo UI, and to gain access to Marketo API services.
Once a partner has been accepted into the LaunchPoint Technology Partner Program, a partner sandbox is provisioned. In most respects, a partner sandbox is functionally equivalent to a production instance. Partner sandboxes do not have add-on modules installed, and have fixed capacity limits in place. Below is a FAQ followed by a summary of partner sandbox capabilities.
