# Get certified

Learn how to submit your ATE integration for Avalara's review.

Congratulations! At this point, you've completed all previous milestones, and you're ready for Avalara to review your integration.

## How do I submit?

To initiate a functional review:

1.  Create a recording demonstrating your integration, including the installation.
2.  Send the recording along with the user guide to [DG-PartnerLaunch@avalara.com](mailto:DG-PartnerLaunch@avalara.com).

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 achieved certification.

## What do I include in the demo?

Your integration should include all requirements mentioned in the previous chapters. Specifically, we want to see the following:

**Core integration requirements**

-   How you install or enable your integration.
-   Your configuration screen and authentication process, including:
    -   Demonstrate inputting your credentials.
    -   Show that your integration includes:
        -   A test connection button
        -   An option to designate connecting to a Production or Sandbox environment
    -   Show that you defined a company code.
-   How you identify business entities, locations, and product and mode code.
-   The quote-to-cash process, including transaction scenarios along with doc codes:
    -   The quote-to-cash process should specifically call out the times when the system reaches out to ATE for tax calculation and when the system records a transaction for further reporting and remittance.
-   Other considerations
    -   Show that your integration sends the proper HTTP headers (assuming that your integration uses the REST v2 API).
    -   Show that your integration includes an address validation, filter-by-country option or that you limit address validation requests to only the US and Canada.
    -   Show that your integration uses a reasonable API request ratio during invoicing.
    -   Show that sales invoices use an `AvataxDocumentType` of `SalesInvoice` and that you don't call AvaTax multiple times for the same invoice.
    -   Confirm that orders/estimates use an `AvataxDocumentType` of `SalesOrder` or `PurchaseOrder`.
