Dealing with Chargeback is tough and looks frustrating task for most haunts for card payment due to complexities and consumer consumer-centric nature of the policies of the card issuance entities.

 

Just protective practices and few proactive efforts to deal with chargeback claims where it is fair or unfair. Just take time to analyze chargeback requests to collect supporting information or evidence, and documents to fright any unfair chargeback helping to save your revenue genuinely. So, collect and provide evidence to prove the sale was legitimate.


Common reasons for friendly chargeback requests by consumers:

  • Stolen credit card information used to purchase
  • Unrecognized transactions as most common for ticketing
  • Merchandise wasn’t delivered when it was
  • The merchandise was defective upon its arrival when it was fine.
  • Disparaging the quality of the products or services.
  • Ultimately an illegitimate or unwarranted chargeback is basically the equivalent of cyber-shoplifting.

  • A consumer who has filed a chargeback is nine times more likely to do it again.
  • 40% of cardholders who successfully file an illegitimate chargeback will attempt another in the next 90 days.
  • There are two faulty business practices that make it seem like the bank is the easiest, no-hassle solution for a refund.
