Level 2/3 Processing

For commercial janitorial: Include purchase-order references and itemized invoice data for business-card purchases of cleaning visits, restoration projects and service invoices. Pass line-item data on purchasing card payments to qualify for Visa Product 3 rates. When business customers pay with commercial cards, passing detailed invoice data can qualify for lower interchange. Visa's Commercial Enhanced Data Program changed the rules in 2025–2026.

  • Configure line-item data from invoices

Credit Card Surcharging

For commercial janitorial: Plan credit-card surcharge disclosures for cleaning visits, restoration projects and service invoices, keeping eligible card payments distinct at checkout. Typical tickets for janitorial companies run $1,000 to $50,000 per month. Where it's allowed, a compliant surcharge offsets card costs on the larger ones. A surcharge adds a disclosed fee to credit card payments only. Visa caps it at 3% or your cost of acceptance, whichever is lower, and some states ban or cap it.
  • Check your states and card mix before you start
  • Configure terminals, invoices and receipts
  • Provide compliant signage and invoice language
