Chargebacks are now a major problem for both merchants and payment stakeholders who operate in the ever evolving landscape of digital commerce. The likelihood of disputed payments, which frequently results in costly chargebacks, rising rapidly in line with the constant increase in online transactions. In addition to reducing profit margins, these chargebacks put a strain on company resources, as handling and resolving them can take a lot of time and labor. However, in this day and age, businesses are looking for Chargeback Automation Solutions to reduce the relliance on on manual processes and interventions for fighting and stopping chargebacks.
Many merchants use Chargeback Alerts as an early warning method to prevent this. Important notifications are provided via Alerts such as Ethoca Alerts and Verifi CDRN (Cardholder Dispute Resolution Network), which allow businesses to take swift action on any incoming disputes before they turn into full chargebacks. In order to lessen the financial and operational impact of chargebacks, these Alerts enable businesses to proactively handle disputes, whether by contacting customers to resolve the issue or issuing refunds. However, with Chargeback volumes increasing, these Alerts can also overload teams when managed manually, which can lead to missed alerts, delays, and possibly higher chargeback ratios. Ultimately, this can affect relationships with payment processors and acquiring banks.
Merchants must find a way to effectively handle these Alerts, on an automated level, in order to achieve their full potential. PayShield’s Dispute Intelligence and Verifi RDR (Rapid Dispute Resolution) Alerts offer advanced solutions tailored for this purpose. By establishing custom rules to handle Alerts carefully, Dispute Intelligence streamlines the workflow and allows merchants to automate the response process for Verifi CDRN and Ethoca Alerts. Verifi RDR also offers automatic refunds based on pre-set rules for businesses who prefer a completely automated solution, guaranteeing that disputes are settled swiftly and minimising the need for human involvement.
Understanding Chargeback Alerts: Verifi CDRN and Ethoca Alerts
Verifi CDRN Alerts
Verifi CDRN gives merchants early notice of any disputes inside the Visa network, which includes more than 1,000 financial institutions, especially in the United States. When a cardholder files a dispute, the system alerts merchants, providing them with a brief window of opportunity to resolve the matter before it becomes a chargeback. Verifi CDRN requires merchants to review and resolve each alert, in contrast to Verifi’s other solution (Verifi RDR). This gives them the opportunity to decide on the best course of action for each disagreement. Because of this capability, Verifi is especially well-suited for merchants in the US market who deal with a large number of chargebacks that are not related to fraud.
Ethoca Alerts
With a wider network coverage that includes more than 5,000 financial institutions, including Mastercard and other significant banks in Europe, Asia, and Canada, Ethoca Alerts functions similarly by offering early dispute notifications. Ethoca requires that merchants issue refunds and update their portal with the outcome of disputes. Ethoca Alerts is especially useful for handling fraud-related issues across a global customer base, due to its wider coverage network.
