# Lower interchange rates

To qualify for lower interchange rates with Visa’s Commercial Enhanced Data Program (CEDP):

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Submit enhanced transaction data through the Xplor Pay Transactions API fields when processing payments with Visa commercial cards.**

A participation fee of 0.05% of the total amount applies to eligible transactions when accepting payments with Visa commercial cards.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Xplor Pay sends the transaction data to Visa to verify whether it meets the required qualifications.**

The lower interchange rates qualification takes minimum 40 *days* from the day of commercial transaction initiation.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Visa verifies the enhanced data submissions retrospectively.**

To qualify for lower interchange rates, make sure the enhanced transaction data you submit consistently meets Visa’s quality requirements.

The verification status is specific to each Merchant Identification (MID) registered with Xplor Pay.

After qualification, Visa may refund transactions processed between the data verification and rate application stages.
