Partner-focused onboarding visibility

Standardize activation processes across accounts to help ensure services are provisioned consistently.

Centralized activation workflow

Access registration and activation status through APIs to support automated onboarding workflows and system sync.

Integration-ready status retrieval

Review the Activation Service API reference and connect your partner onboarding flows to registration and activation endpoints. Access and credentials are provisioned according to your Avalara partnership and product agreements.

Getting started

Integrate with partner systems and onboarding workflows to retrieve registration and activation status through Avalara APIs. Track readiness programmatically before triggering downstream processes such as tax calculation or filing.
