A chargeback is initiated when the customer contacts the issuing bank to request a payment reversal. Many of these chargebacks could be avoided. The more you know the proper procedures, the less likely you’ll run into issues that might result in a chargeback. As your partner, we’re here to help you resolve unwarranted chargebacks, and with our Seller Protection program, you’re protected for eligible payments against fraudulent transactions.
When a customer files a chargeback through their credit card company, we will notify you and hold the funds in question as we work with you to resolve it.
Submit your supporting documents or evidence through the Resolution Centre to dispute the chargeback. We’ll represent you in negotiations with the credit card company, who makes the decision.
We’ll remove the hold once we’ve determined the transaction is eligible for Seller Protection.
