Submitting Level III credit card data can substantially reduce interchange rates and fees on Purchasing, GSA, Business, or Corporate credit card transactions.
Submitting Level 3 card data is fairly complex and requires the use of specialized point-of-sale systems. Detailed statement analysis is recommended to determine if Level III card data submission is right for your business. Level II card data is relatively simple and can be submitted using most conventional point-of-sale terminals, payment gateways, and software products.
