Businesses accepting commercial and or government transactions can take advantage of lower interchange rates by passing level 3 line item detail.
Level 3 processing is a more sophisticated way of accepting commercial and government cards and include additional enhanced transaction detail like you would find on an invoice.
A commercial transaction passed with level 3 line item detail vs. without it can be as high as 1.50%. This is before processors add a markup. If your looking for a way to reduce your transaction cost, consult with a level 3 merchant provider like Revolution Payments.
