Here are few commonly asked questions about chargeback prevention and dispute re-presentment:
What are Chargebacks?
A chargeback or a “reversal” is a form of credit card protection for the customer provided by their issuing bank(s), which allows the customer to file a complaint regarding fraudulent transactions on their statement. Chargebacks occur mostly for high risk merchant accounts where credit cards are not present during the time of a transaction. When the customer files a dispute, the issuing bank makes an investigation into the complaint. Once the issuer bank proves the transaction is indeed fraudulent, the issuer bank will refund the original value to the cardholder. If the merchant does not prove the transaction to be legitimately authorized by the cardholder, the credit card issuer bank will take back the entire value of the transaction from your merchant account, along with an additional chargeback fee(s). It is in a merchant’s best interest time wise and financially to have chargeback protection or hire a professional chargeback monitoring service to handle this tedious process. Regardless of whether you win a chargeback dispute the actual chargeback will still count against your permanent processing record, which is why it is best to use VIVIFY’s Chargeback Protection services to prevent chargebacks from ever occurring in the first place.
Why do Chargebacks happen?
There are many reasons why a cardholder may dispute the transaction and cause a chargeback to your merchant account.
- Fraudulent transactions – This is where the cardholder did not initiate the transaction or did not authorize charges on their credit card. In cases like these, the merchant is held solely responsible.
- Credit Not Processed – The cardholder/customer has returned merchandise to the merchant, requested their money back but the credit was never posted or issued to their account. In these situations, merchants are also held liable for the value of the transaction and chargeback fees.
- Item Not Received – The most commons reason for chargebacks in today’s e-commerce era. A chargeback can occur when the customer does not receive the item which they paid for by credit card.
- Technical Problems – Technical problems between the merchant (POS, Credit Card Machine, Online Shopping card) and the issuing bank may lead to cardholders being charged twice for the same transaction (commonly called “duplicate processing”). Technical problems may also cause a transaction to process for authorization of payment yet show a decline to the customer.
- Custom disputes and technical problems do happen from time to time, but proactively taking action to prevent chargebacks will ensure your customer is well taken care of and will protect the your account from being closed or terminated.
