Capturing Levels II and III data - Wells Fargo

Capture Levels II and III data when accepting commercial cards
Business, corporate, purchasing, and fleet cards are used just like personal credit and debit cards. However, these cards carry higher interchange rates because they offer employers high-value features such as enhanced reporting and statements. Many merchants can qualify for lower interchange rates (especially in card-not-present environments) by collecting the more in-depth Level II and Level III data with each commercial card transaction.
Level II data includes a Tax Indicator, an itemized sales tax amount, and a customer code (for transaction tracing), if provided by the cardholder.
For Level III data, only Mastercard? and Visa? corporate, purchasing, and fleet cards can qualify.
