Level 2/3 Processing

For professional associations & chambers of commerce: Include purchase-order references and itemized invoice data for business-card purchases of dues, event registrations and member services. When business customers pay professional and trade associations and chambers of commerce with corporate, purchasing or fleet cards, sending enhanced transaction data (tax, PO number, line items) can qualify for lower interchange. Members often pay on corporate cards, and enhanced data can lower interchange on eligible cards. Roots configures enhanced-data capture in your gateway, invoices or ERP so it happens on every eligible transaction.
  • Analyze statements to find commercial-card downgrades
  • Configure the gateway or ERP to populate enhanced data accurately
  • Monitor CEDP qualification and fix data-quality errors
