recommends that you include a description of the card-present
EV charging transaction type in each transaction request. The descriptions appear in the
Business Center
and in your transaction reports. Include the EV charging description in the comments request field,
clientReferenceInformation.comments
. Add this enhancement at your next opportunity and test the field before live deployment.
Making this change does not affect your L3 or MLV status, provided that no other changes
are made.
