MarginEdge is now part of the Toast Partner Ecosystem which shares data via API: resulting in the absolute best, safest and most reliable way to get your data from Toast to MarginEdge. To maintain this integration, Toast has asked us for a 10% API fee which will be added to your MarginEdge subscription.

Connecting to Toast requires you to first grab some information from MarginEdge and then head into your Toast account. There you will need to add a new integration (for us!) and enter that information you copied at the beginning of the process into Toast. 

In MarginEdge

1. In MarginEdge, navigate to Setup > Point of Sale
   
   

2. Click the Connect to Point of Sale button.
   
   

3. Select Toast API from the dropdown list of choices

   Note: All Toast integrations (including the MarginEdge integration) must go through their Partner Connect portal. Toast charges $25/month per location to access their Partner Connect portal. If you have not yet activated this function on your Toast account then you will be prompted to subscribe to the Partner Connect portal.
   
   

3. Search for MarginEdge and click Add Now
   

   Note: If you do not see the 'Add Now' option, it's possible that you need to update your Toast subscription and subscribe to the Partner Connect portal, as explained in Step 8.
