Level 2/3 Processing

For landscaping & hardscaping: Include purchase-order references and itemized invoice data for business-card purchases of lawn services, landscape projects and maintenance charges. Commercial customers of landscaping companies often pay with purchasing or fleet cards, where enhanced data matters. 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.
  • Review your commercial card mix to see whether enhanced data pays
  • Configure line-item data from invoices
  • Monitor Visa data-quality results

Payouts

For landscaping & hardscaping: Distribute amounts owed to independent gardeners and landscape crews, with payment references matched to route visits, project quotes and service invoices.

Merchant Account

For landscaping & hardscaping: Arrange a processing account for lawn services, landscape projects and maintenance charges, with checkout methods matched to how customers pay.

A dedicated merchant account gives you custom pricing and processing limits set during underwriting. Roots uses it when Square isn't the right fit.
