Data Levels

As businesses continue to automate their purchasing functions, they are increasingly looking for ways to streamline their processes, reduce costs and capture more data at the time of purchase. To support this effort, MasterCard has worked with acquiring banks to ensure the greatest level of data capture at the lowest possible cost. Those suppliers who are set up to pass Level 3 data are provided the lowest costs for their efforts.

Level 1 provides basic credit card purchase information including but not limited to; Supplier name, Merchant Category Code, Date and Total purchase amount.

Level 2 adds additional information to level 1 elements including but not limited to; Customer Code, Sales Tax amount, Vendor Tax ID, Outlet zip code and Minority & Women Owned Business status (MWOB).

Level 3 adds line item detail to level 2 elements including but not limited to; Customer Code, Sales Tax, Item Description, Item Quantity, Item Unit of Measure, Product Code, Freight amount and Extended Item amount.
