How Much Are Chargebacks Costing You?
When a customer successfully disputes a charge you’ve made against their credit or debit card, the card issuer will rescind the sale from you – and adds feed on top of it. This process is called a chargeback, and it costs businesses a fortune every year.
Short of physically swiping every subscriber’s card, every month, it can be very difficult to prove that a charge is legitimate. That puts the word of your credit card issuer’s customer against yours, and the customer usually wins.
It’s not just the money that’s at stake, either. In a higher risk business, it’s already hard enough to get new merchant accounts with reasonable rates and terms. Accrue too many chargebacks, and you can find yourself with a termination notice, leaving you without a merchant account altogether.
