Chargeback Fees (In addition to chargeback amount)

  1. We have pre-dispute alerts for chargebacks which help minimise chargebacks and improve customer relationship by providing a refund for fair chargeback requests.
  2. This is enabled by default and merchants cannot opt out of it.
  3. Fee for every Pre-Dispute alert is $30. It is charged the moment we get an alert of an incoming chargeback. This is the fee charged by our partner which we pass on to the merchant.
  4. Merchant gets a 24 hour window to review and fight the chargeback if they feel it is not fair.
  5. If you decide to fight the chargeback, an additional $30 fee will be charged for assisted chargeback resolution

Note : For INR Transactions only a chargeback fee of Rs. 1000 per chargeback will be applied as there are no pre-dispute alerts in place
