What is Level 3 Credit Processing?

Level-3 (also known as Level III, Level 3, or Level-III) line-item detail is a data specification designed to support business-to-business and business-to-government credit card use. Level-3 line item detail provides specific purchase information such as Item Description, Quantity, Unit of Measure, Price, and more. This information is very useful to cardholding organizations to help streamline accounting and business practices and to merge payment data with electronic procurement systems.

LEVEL I (Consumer cards) is a standard credit card purchase transaction, and offers such information as:

  • Supplier Name
  • Total purchase amount
  • Date
  • Merchant Category Code

LEVEL II (Corporate cards) adds additional information about each purchase, including:

  • Sales tax amount
  • Customer code (a.k.a. accounting code)

LEVEL III (Procurement/Purchase cards) adds full line-item detail to the data in Level II, including:

  • Quantities
  • Product codes
  • Product descriptions
  • Costs
  • Ship to zip
  • Freight amount
  • Duty amount
