The following example illustrates how to build a Level 3 addendum for the ctVisa CardType:

  'First, authorize the credit card
  FDMSECommerce.TransactionAmount = "2720" '$27.20
  FDMSECommerce.Authorize()

  'Then, put the result into the settlement component
 	FDMSSettle.DetailRecords.Add(New FDMSRecordType(FDMSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate()))

  'Then build the Level 2 portion
  FDMSLevel2.CardType = ctVisa
  FDMSLevel2.CommercialCardType = FDMSECommerce.ResponseCommercialCard  
  FDMSLevel2.OrderDate = "060828" 'September 28th, 2006
  FDMSLevel2.FreightTaxAmount = "0"
  FDMSLevel2.FreightAmount = "600"
  FDMSLevel2.PurchaseIdentifier = "123456PURCHID"
  FDMSLevel2.ShippedToZip = "90210"
  FDMSLevel2.ShippedFromZip = "90210"
  FDMSLevel2.TaxAmount = "120"
  
  'Now build the Level 3 portion

  FDMSLevel3.CardType = ctVisa
  
  FDMSLineItem item = new FDMSLineItem();
  item.Quantity = 2;
  item.UnitCost = "500"; // $13.99
  item.Units = "each";
  item.Total = "1060";
  FDMSLevel3.LineItems.Add(item);  

  item = new FDMSLineItem();
  item.Quantity = 1;
  item.UnitCost = "1000";
  item.Units = "each";
  item.Total = "1060";
  FDMSLevel3.LineItems.Add(item);  

  'Finally, add the Level 2 and Level 3 addendum data to the settlement at the same index
  'as the associated transaction.
  FDMSSettle.DetailRecords[FDMSSettle.DetailRecords.Count()].AddendumAggregate = FDMSLevel2.GetAddendum() + FDMSLevel3.GetAddendum()
