Update your HTML file

Before you begin

Make sure you have the full response body from the previous step.

About this task

Use this step to inject the form_request into your sample HTML page so you can test the integration flow.

Steps

Open your saved w9-example.html file in a text editor.
Locate the placeholder value, for example REPLACE_ME on line 8 of the sample w9-example.html file, and replace it with the full response body from the previous step.
Save the file, then reload it in your web browser.

Result

This step simulates a server-side process that creates a form_request during page rendering and injects it into the HTML. In a production implementation, generate the form_request dynamically from your server instead of embedding it directly in the page.

Note

Protect your API credentials and data integrity. Always create the form_request using the Avalara 1099 & W-9 API on a server that you control. Don’t generate or expose it directly in client-side code.
