For Pro-Life Business organizations seeking to optimize payment processing costs, understanding Level II and Level III processing is essential. These advanced processing levels can help your Pro-Life Business achieve lower interchange rates by providing additional transaction data, especially for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) transactions.
What is Level II and Level III Processing?
Credit card processing fits into three levels: Level I, Level II, and Level III. Each level is defined by the amount of information required to complete a transaction. Level II and Level III processing are particularly relevant for Pro-Life Business organizations that process corporate, business, or purchase cards.
- Level I: Basic transaction data (merchant name, billing zip code, purchase amount, purchase date).
- Level II: Adds sales tax, merchant tax ID, invoice/order number, and customer code for government/purchasing cards.
- Level III: Includes all Level II data plus line-item details such as product description, SKU, unit price, quantity, discounts, freight, shipping, and more.
