Get certified

Learn how to submit your integration for Avalara’s review and certification process.

Congratulations! At this point, you’ve completed all previous milestones. If you’re a technology partner, you’re now ready for someone to review your integration.

How to submit

To initiate a functional review:

1. Create a recording demonstrating your integration, including the test transactions.
2. Send the recording along with any updated user guide to DG-PartnerLaunch@avalara.com.
3. Avalara will review your demo and then follow up with you. During this follow-up, Avalara will either request more information from you or inform you that you have achieved certification.

What to include in your demo

Your integration should include the quote-to-cash process, including transaction scenarios along with doc codes.

• The quote-to-cash process specifies the times when the system reaches out to AvaTax for a tax calculation. It also notes when the system records a transaction with AvaTax for further reporting and remittance.
• The transaction scenarios can be the same scenarios from the prior Test transactions section:
  • Charge credit card at time of booking
  • Charge credit card at checkout
  • Refund a cancelled reservation

What’s next?

Whether you’ve completed your AvaTax for Hospitality badge certification or you’re still undergoing the functional review process, it’s not too soon to consider the next steps for your integration. Review our list of Certification Badges for any additional certifications that you may want to achieve. For example, does your lodging location provide alcoholic beverages? If so, consider achieving the AvaTax for Beverage Alcohol badge.
