Friendly fraud 42%

Chargeback Protection FAQ

What is chargeback protection and how does it work?

Chargeback protection is a combination of chargeback prevention tools and dispute management that defends your revenue on both sides of a dispute. Real-time chargeback alerts let you refund or resolve questionable transactions before they post, while our team handles representment for the disputes that do file - so you win more disputes and recover revenue.

How do real-time chargeback alerts reduce my chargeback ratio?

We connect alert networks directly to your account so you are notified the moment a cardholder raises a dispute. Resolving or refunding at that stage stops the transaction from ever becoming a posted chargeback, which keeps your chargeback ratio low and your merchant account in good standing.

What is friendly fraud and can you stop it?

Friendly fraud happens when a cardholder makes a legitimate purchase and later disputes it - whether by mistake or on purpose. It is the largest source of chargebacks. We deflect friendly fraud with compelling order, delivery and account-activity evidence, and challenge it through representment to reverse invalid disputes.

What is representment and do you handle it for me?

Representment is the process of disputing a chargeback by submitting evidence to the issuing bank. Our specialists assemble and file the case for you, formatting evidence to each card brand's exact reason-code requirements and meeting every deadline, so you can win disputes without the paperwork.

Why do high chargeback ratios put my merchant account at risk?

Card networks monitor your chargeback ratio, and exceeding roughly 1% can trigger fees, higher reserves and monitoring programs - and eventually the loss of your merchant account. Our chargeback ratio reduction keeps you well below those thresholds so your processing stays stable.

How quickly can I get chargeback protection set up?

Most merchants are approved and onboarded within 24 to 48 hours. Once your application is reviewed, we configure prevention rules around your risk profile, connect chargeback alerts and put dispute management in place so you can start protecting revenue right away.
