2. In the Your reference field of the User Information section, enter an internal reference number to identify the transaction. This reference number will appear on your billing reports and can be used to look up completed orders. The Classification dropdown is an optional feature to indicate if the transaction falls under "Commercial" or "Retail" (if your organization supports such classifications).

   *this option may not be available depending on your system configuration
