Submitting Purchasing Card

Level 2 and Level 3 Transactions

PayPal Payment Services supports passing Purchasing Card Level 2 information (such as

purchase order number, tax amount, and charge description) in the settlement file.

If additional required invoice information and line-item details are included in the transaction,

PayPal formats Purchasing Card Level 3 information in an appropriate format, for example,

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) 810 format as required by American Express during

settlement processing.

Please contact your merchant bank to determine which parameters are required to obtain the

best rate for level 2 or level 3 type transactions. If in doubt, we recommend you send all the

level 2 and level 3 fields specified below for your processor.

About Purchasing Cards

The procurement process uses purchasing cards for a number of reasons. Purchasing cards:

 Eliminate paper-based order systems and associated costs

 Improve control and accountability through itemized statements

 Foster better risk controls through spending limits and buying from approved vendors

 Reduce administrative overhead by empowering employees to make small purchases

 Enable enterprises to negotiate better contract pricing and discounts with suppliers by using

vendor detail reports

To promote acceptance and usage of purchasing card programs, card issuers have established

incentive rates for merchants. The incentive rates are available to merchants who comply at

transaction processing Level 2 or Level 3. Transactions that comply at transaction processing

Level 1 qualify as normal credit card transactions.

NOTE: Card issuing institutions perform strict data verification on the enhanced data that

merchants submit with Level 2 or Level 3 transactions. Issuers may charge stiff

penalties when fields contain either inaccurate or filler data. Only transactions that

contain accurate data are eligible for the incentive rates.

About Program Levels

The term Level does not apply to the card, but to the transaction data submitted for that card.

Generally, a higher level means more detailed data for reporting.

The following table describes the recognized transaction levels.

1 2 ... 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 ... 229 230
