Zuora Central Sandbox is an environment you can use copied production data for user acceptance testing and performance testing.

Zuora Central Sandbox uses a snapshot of scrubbed production data. You can also use this sandbox for a brand new implementation in case the production tenant has no data at that time. Uses cases for Zuora Central Sandbox include the API Sandbox use cases and more:

Zuora Central Sandbox is hosted on a production-like AWS infrastructure, allowing you to test the API response time, the bill runs and payment runs with production-level data loading. It provides a more realistic performance testing than API Sandbox. While the Zuora Central Sandbox is designed for production-level performance, you should contact Zuora Global Support if you plan to test over a certain amount of volume in a 24 hour period in the Zuora Central Sandbox. See Performance guidelines for details.

The following table is a comparison between API Sandbox and Zuora Central Sandbox use cases.

Testing results can vary from your production environment since both the Zuora Central Sandbox and Production are distinct multi-tenant environments, and the performance of these environments are based on the overall usage across all your customers.
