Card processing can be categorized into different levels, with each level defined by how much data is required to process the transaction. Enhanced data levels, such as Level 2/3, require extra information to process the transaction and are most useful for corporations and government agencies that require this type of transaction detail to accurately monitor and track expenses. BlueSnap's Payment API supports Level 2/3 data processing for all currencies, allowing you to expand your business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) sales opportunities.

📘
Note
Be sure to send the correct Level 2/3 data. After that, it is up to the issuer to determine whether the transaction qualifies for a lower interchange rate. BlueSnap only validates the format of the data, not whether it meets issuer requirements, so keep in mind that passing data does not guarantee Level 2/3 savings.

This guide covers the following topics:

Test Cards

Before you Begin

Level 2/3 Data is supported for select configurations. Contact Merchant Support for more details.
Do not include the pipe character | in a Level 2 or Level 3 data field. Including the character causes fields to be parsed incorrectly.
If you don't know the card type, pass as many level3Data properties as you can.
- If you pass a property that exceeds the maximum length, BlueSnap truncates the value to meet requirements.
- If BlueSnap detects the card doesn't support Level 2/3 Data, the level3Data properties are not sent to the issuer.
If Level 3 data is sent in both the Auth Only and Capture requests, the Level 3 data from the Auth Only request will be ignored.
If Level 3 data is sent in the Auth Only request but not sent in the Capture, BlueSnap will include the Level 3 data from the Auth Only request with the Capture request.
If you manage your own subscriptions, you must send level3Data for each charge.
