ListValidCertificatesForCustomer

List valid certificates for a location

List valid certificates linked to a customer in a particular country and region.

This API is intended to help identify whether a customer has already provided a certificate that applies to a particular country and region. This API is intended to help you remind a customer when they have or have not provided copies of their exemption certificates to you during the sales order process.

If a customer does not have a certificate on file and they wish to provide one, you should send the customer a CertExpress invitation link so that the customer can upload proof of their exemption certificate. Please see the CreateCertExpressInvitation API to create an invitation link for this customer.

Before you can use any exemption certificates endpoints, you must set up your company for exemption certificate data storage. Companies that do not have this storage system set up will see CertCaptureNotConfiguredError when they call exemption certificate related APIs. To check if this is set up for a company, call GetCertificateSetup. To request setup of exemption certificate storage for this company, call RequestCertificateSetup.
