The orders API will enforce uniqueness for external identifiers on 2026-02-02. Currently, you can set external identifiers for orders API objects, but the Toast platform does not enforce uniqueness for those identifiers.
External identifiers are identifiers for Toast platform objects that are assigned by your integration. For example, you can set the externalId value for an Order or a Check. The Toast platform supports using external identifiers as a unique identifier for an object.
For more information, see External identifiers.
