Why certify developers?

Why does EMS E-Commerce certify developers?

Applications that automatically enter transactions into the EMS E-Commerce transaction network must meet EMS E-Commerce documented standards for accuracy and quality. As a registered member of the EMS E-Commerce Certified Developer Program, EMS E-Commerce provides you with documentation regarding minimum standards and verification procedures within an online production environment. As you prepare to go live with any of the EMS E-Commerce APIs, you will be asked to have your transactions "certified" to ensure that your company's integration meets these minimum standards.
