Level III
Special Processing Rules > Corporate Cards > Level III

In order to qualify for Level III data rates, the merchant must provide specific line item details for a transaction processed for a corporate, purchasing, or government card. Visa and MasterCard offer these enhanced data programs, which can reduce the cost of accepting commercial cards for B2B businesses.

Level II data is also required for a transaction to be eligible for Level III rates.

Multiple line items may be sent for each transaction record.

The line item detail information may pass to the cardholder statement. MasterCard line items should include all fields. Visa transactions should include the summary information as well as the Line Items; a certification analyst can help determine the applicable fields for your business to qualify for Visa Level III rates.

Special characters are not allowed in Level III data fields.
