What does the term 'Level 3' mean?
Level 3 credit card processing, or ‘line-item detail,’ is detailed transaction data your system passes when a payment card is used for a specific purchase. Transaction details such as item purchased, quantity purchased, and other merchant-specific order information is included.Typically, this information is made available when the purchaser uses any card that is issued for a specific type of business purchase by a business or government agency. These include government-issued cards, business, or corporate purchasing cards.
Why it matters to you
If you have customers that are government agencies, most mandate Level 3 information so they can monitor purchases. Similarly, other businesses that you transact with on a regular basis will most likely require this at some point if they use purchasing cards. The use of purchasing cards among mid-sized business is one of the fastest growing payment methods. Passing Level 3 data today will mean you’ll never have to turn away a customer who asks for this level of detail with their purchases.
