Visa Large Ticket Interchange: A Guide for B2B Sellers

What Large Ticket interchange is

Interchange is the fee the card-issuing bank receives on each sale, and Visa sets it by program. Commercial cards, the purchasing, corporate and business cards that companies give staff to buy for the business, have their own table in Visa's US schedule. Inside that table sit Large Ticket programs built for high-value payments, such as equipment purchases and large wholesale or supply invoices. The idea is simple: a lower percentage, with a fixed per-sale fee large enough that the program only makes sense on big amounts. Consumer cards are priced in separate tables, so a large sale on a personal rewards card does not use these programs.

The published rates, October 2026

These are interchange rates only. Your total cost also includes network assessments and your processor's markup, and on flat or tiered pricing you may never see the program a sale landed in. Visa changes these tables on published schedules, so check the current version before you rely on any figure. Processor bulletins on Visa's October 2026 changes, such as one published by Wind River Payments, also report that Visa raised the maximum transaction amount for some Purchasing Large Ticket programs on October 30, 2026. Confirm any limit that matters to you with your own processor.

When the fixed fee helps and when it hurts

Using the published rates above, the arithmetic is easy to check. At 1.30% + $35.00 against 2.70% + $0.10, the two cost the same at roughly $2,500; above that amount Large Ticket costs less, below it more. Against Commercial Product 3 at 1.75% + $0.10, the crossover is much higher, at roughly $7,750. So Large Ticket pricing is not automatically cheaper. It helps most on the largest invoices, and for mid-size business-card sales another commercial program may cost less. Run the same sum with your own invoice sizes before you ask anyone to change how your sales are submitted.

What small, mid-size and enterprise sellers should check

Small businesses that only occasionally take a large business-card payment usually should not build anything special. Ask your processor whether your account is set up for commercial card programs at all and whether you are on interchange-plus pricing, because on a flat rate a cheaper interchange program saves your processor money, not you. Mid-size B2B sellers who invoice other companies regularly should ask which data fields their gateway sends with commercial card sales and whether large invoices are submitted in a way that can qualify. Enterprise and multi-entity sellers, such as distributors or companies that bill large accounts from several locations, should pull a report of their highest-value commercial card sales and the interchange program each one landed in, then review it with the processor. For the very largest invoices, compare card acceptance with ACH or wire, where a flat bank fee can cost less than any percentage.
