## Description

Revoke the certificate identified by this URL, then delete it.
            
A certificate is a document stored in either AvaTax Exemptions or CertCapture.  The certificate document
can contain information about a customer's eligibility for exemption from sales or use taxes based on
criteria you specify when you store the certificate.  To view or manage your certificates directly, please
log onto the administrative website for the product you purchased.
            
Revoked certificates can no longer be used.
            
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`.
