Navigate Olo Connect's tiered partner certification model to determine what's required before going live on Rails (marketplace ordering) versus Dispatch (delivery orchestration)

Steps

1. Submit a partnership inquiry to join the Olo Connect Partner Program; Olo runs a tiered program (e.g., Standard/Gold/Platinum) governing certification depth, co-marketing, and directory placement
2. Understand that Rails (accepting marketplace orders from a third-party channel) and Dispatch (routing white-label deliveries to a delivery service provider) are separate API surfaces, each requiring its own certification pass
3. Request sandbox credentials from the Olo Developer Portal after the partnership agreement is signed — credentials are not available pre-agreement
4. Build and test against sandbox, then schedule certification for each API surface you use; production credentials are issued per certified API, not blanket-granted
5. Review Olo's API usage terms for restrictions on how partner data (menus, pricing, order volume) can be used outside the integration itself
