Reduce the Impact of Chargebacks

Chargebacks refer to the returning or refunding of funds from a sale transaction to a consumer. The issuing bank will withdraw the fund from the merchant?s account and return it as a credit to the consumer. Merchants who exceed a 1 percent chargeback rate can have their merchant processing accounts terminated.

We estimate the time it takes to process a chargeback is over 20 minutes per report. This can cost us anywhere from $10 to $25 per report in labor alone.
