Toast prohibited items

Last updated September 10, 2025 

Toast may, in its sole discretion, prohibit or otherwise restrict Merchant’s use of Toast Services, including but not limited to payment processing, if Merchant offers, sells, or facilitates transactions involving any products, services, or activities listed below, or as otherwise determined by Toast or its payment processing partners (“Prohibited Items”). These restrictions may apply to Merchant’s entire business or to specific transactions, depending on the requirements of Toast and its payment processing partners. This list is not exhaustive and may be updated at any time. Merchants are responsible for ensuring compliance with Applicable Law and Rules and Toast policies. This Toast Prohibited Items policy is only applicable to Toast merchants in the United States, and other restrictions may apply in other jurisdictions. 

Application of Restrictions. Toast’s payment processing partners may impose different requirements regarding prohibited items and activities. In some cases, if Merchant offers any prohibited items (e.g., firearms), Merchant may be entirely ineligible to use Toast’s payment processing services for any transactions. In other cases, only transactions involving specific items will be prohibited, while other transactions (e.g., food and beverage sales) may continue to be processed. Toast will notify Merchant of the applicable restrictions based on their payment processing setup. Merchants are responsible for understanding and complying with these requirements, and Toast reserves the right to suspend or terminate Services, in whole or in part, as necessary to comply with its own policies or those of its payment processing partners.
