Integrated Acumatica Payments with Level 3 Helps You Improve Your Bottom Line
A recent study of CFOs reported that payment digitization is “playing a key role in broader strategies” for driving improvements to overall financial health. In the survey, 38% of respondents stated they sped up initiatives related to payment digitization to improve their bottom line. If you are not one of the 38% and use Acumatica as your ERP, you should consider doing the same. You can enable long-term improvements in operations, speed time to revenue, cut costs, AND improve cash flow by implementing integrated Acumatica payments.
Lower Costs with Integrated Acumatica Payments
According to the survey, nearly all firms stated they see fewer payments via cash or checks and more digital payments than before the pandemic. When conducting business-to-business transactions, often commercial cards are used for payment. You can cut processing costs on commercial cards via Integrated Acumatica payments by leveraging Level 3 payment processing.
What is Level 3 Processing?
The term Level 3, or Level III, refers to the amount of detail you transmit along with a payment transaction. The higher the level, the more details you are required to submit. However, the higher the tier you use the lower the interchange rates are on your transaction. Lower interchange rates mean saving money on your transaction processing.
In exhibit 1 below you can see the requirements for Level 3 processing. It requires the 11 transaction details in order to qualify for the best possible rates. Level 2 processing with higher exchange rates only requires 5 transaction details. Lastly, the most basic (and costly) option is Level 1; requiring only 3 transaction details.

You Can Automate Level 3 Processing with Integrated Acumatica Payments
When your customer presents any commercial card that is issued by a business or government agency much of the data you'll need for Level 3 is already included. With Integrated Acumatica Payments the other data such as the transaction amount, date, customer code, invoice number, order number, etc., is pulled automatically from your accounting system.
Paya's Acumatica payments solution is fully integrated; providing Level 3 transaction detail without any additional steps. Integrated Acumatica Payments automatically maps the data and seamlessly transmits it with the transaction so you qualify for the lowest, Level 3 transaction rates. Paya customers often see a significant drop in transaction rates on corporate and government cards.
