Why are you just learning about this now?


Chances are if you setup your merchant services account with your bank or a random salesman that solicited your credit card processing, then they were either not knowledgeable enough to inform you about Level-3, or they simply didn't want to tell you about it to keep your savings in their pocket. Regardless of the reason, if you're making sales in excess of $7,500 per transaction it's time to invest in new technology.


A PCI-certified virtual terminal or gateway capable of performing Level-3, p-card transactions will require additional purchasing information for the processor and card brands (Visa, Mastercard). Such as, quantity purchased, item description, unit price, ect. It's a little bit of extra work, but it's easy to input and the calculated savings may very will justify the effort. They're often packed with more security and fraud prevention tools too.
