Providing Level II data can help merchants processing Corporate Cards receive better interchange rates.

Level II data may be sent in the following transaction types:

• CreditAuth
• CreditSale
• CreditOfflineAuth
• CreditOfflineSale
• RecurringBilling
• RecurringBillingAuth
• CreditCPCEdit 

CPCData can be included directly in the original transaction. 

Alternately, the client can check the CPCInd in the response to the original transaction one of the valid values, then prompt for the purchase order number and tax and send this information to Portico using CreditCPCEdit.

 

All Merchants

Level II data requires Tax Type and, if applicable, TaxAmt. Cardholder PO Number can be provided; if one is not sent, Portico will auto-populate a value so the transaction has the opportunity to qualify for the best B2B interchange rate.
