Level Up to Save Money

Behind the scenes, credit card transactions are processed in tiered levels—1, 2, 3, and Large Ticket. This matters because the higher the level, the lower the interchange fee. i3 Commerce Technology can help you level up.

More Data = Less Revenue Lost to Fees

Credit card networks give the lowest interchange rates to companies that provide the most detailed customer and transaction data with every payment processed. That’s because more data translates to less risk. The more data provided, the higher the processing level.

The great news is that i3 Commerce Technology's payment gateway automatically populates the necessary data fields for you to process at the optimum level. Our technology fills in the details; you pocket the savings.

And if you accept large credit card payments for B2B invoices or high-ticket consumer purchases? Our payment gateway routes and qualifies these transactions for Large Ticket processing, a special category that also charges lower interchange fees.
