Build on the platform, and be the team we recommend.
Certified developers are the firms we point clients at when they need something built on Wallet, and the first teams we call when we are outsourcing work ourselves.
Who this program is for.
Wallet ships an API and a set of SDK libraries, and a good deal of what merchants want sits just outside what the platform does out of the box: an integration with a legacy system, an automation nobody has built yet, a module dropped into a website that was not built for it.
Certification is how we tell a merchant which developers can be trusted with that work. The four tiers below map to genuinely different technical ground, from installing our modules on a template-based site through to building on the API itself.
Certification is granted on demonstrated work, not on an exam. Each tier below states what you need to show us.
What each tier includes, and what it takes to qualify.
Higher tiers cover more of your team, carry more support, and are capped at fewer seats.
Four tiers. Swipe the table sideways to see Silver and Bronze.
