What PlatformDTC does
PlatformDTC does not connect to Braintree, and Level III line-item submission is a Braintree integration feature with no counterpart in PlatformDTC's checkout, which builds the order data from the cart itself.
Why it happens
Line-item fields required for Level III processing were missing or did not add up.
What the store can do
Correct the Level III data in your integration, or send the transaction without it.
