Advanced Data Fields (Level 2 Data for B2B Merchants):

Many B2B merchants need “Level 2” or “Level 3” data to qualify for lower interchange rates. This is critical for corporate card acceptance:

  • Click to expand the Transaction Details banner
  • Enter the following fields:
    • Invoice Number: Merchant’s internal invoice reference
    • PO Number: Customer’s purchase order number
    • Description: Transaction description or memo field
  • Expand Billing & Shipping Info banner:
    • By default, “Shipping Info same as billing” is checked
    • Uncheck “Same as Billing” to enter distinct shipping data
    • Enter complete shipping address including:
      • Ship To Name
      • Ship To Address Line 1
      • Ship To Address Line 2
      • Ship To City
      • Ship To State
      • Ship To Zip Code

Rate Qualification: Many card types require shipping information for optimal interchange rates
