Critical ResourceVisa CEDP: Major Payments Disruption

Elavon Merchants: Achieve Visa CEDP Compliance Without Switching Processors

Visa's CEDP program changes how Elavon processes B2B transactions. Download our compliance toolkit to understand requirements, identify risk exposure, and learn how to protect your interchange rates — all while staying with Elavon.

CEDP Changed Everything for B2B Merchants

The system replaced Level 2 and Level 3 with AI-powered validation that detects missing data fields instantly.

Visa's AI validation checks all 17 required fields in real-time. Misconfigurations in your merchant account mean you pay 0.45-0.80% more per transaction—unnecessary fees that accumulate monthly.

Payment gateways weren't built to pull CEDP data from ERPs. Processors can't fix this gap. The system leaves merchants exposed to penalties they don't even know exist.

Step 1: Assess Your Risk

If you're using Elavon and processing B2B transactions, you could be at risk.

High Risk Indicators

  • You initiate payments directly into the Elavon gateway
  • Your customers enter payment information through an Elavon payment link
  • You don't have an integration between your ERP/invoicing system and Elavon

What We Review in Your Elavon Billing

  • Transaction-level data showing Product 3 status
  • Evidence of CEDP validation failures
  • Interchange category downgrades

Step 2: Calculate Your Exposure

What happens if you're flagged by Visa's CEDP audit?

Real-world example: For one Elavon client, Verisave identified a potential $300,000 per month fee increase — which they avoided by updating their workflow properly.
