Using our direct connection to providers, we can support merchants by assisting at one of the first stages in the dispute-resolution process, helping you to resolve the issue without investing much time into analyzing your disputes and to cut your chargeback costs in addition.

Our system helps merchants to prevent a chargeback before the dispute process is initiated. For instance, a customer files for a chargeback, and the issuer, instead of immediately filing a chargeback, sends the notification directly to the merchant through our solution, requesting more details about the transaction nature. A merchant either provides details for the purchase or initiates a refund, notifying the issuing bank and thus avoiding a chargeback.

Several approaches allow you to prevent chargebacks and remain on the side of Visa and Mastercard:

Using Glossary
A tool that allows merchants to stop Visa chargebacks before they are initiated by the customer.

Consumer Clarity (formerly referred to as Ethoca Eliminator) is a system that allows the merchant to provide details of the transaction to the issuing bank to prevent unlawful chargebacks. Consumer Clarity chargeback merchant services through seamless Chargebackhit integration.

The merchant can provide all the necessary data automatically, using Consumer Clarity, Order Insight, and Chargebackhit as a communicator between the issuing bank and the cardholder on one side, and the merchant on the other, which can Guide

Chargebackhit service is an API that provides alert notifications. Visa, Mastercard or Issuer send a JSON request to the Chargebackhit API, which in turn sends an alert to the merchant.

For each product, the alert processing flow is approximately the same:

Convert the alert into an internal format and store it in the database.
Check for duplicates and exclusion rules.
Generate a request for the merchant and send a notification.
Handle the merchant’s response and respond to the provider accordingly.

Alert types

Glossary
Chargeback notifications are messages that the merchant receives informing them that a chargeback has occurred or will soon occur. Chargeback alerts are delivered to the merchant before a claim is made, giving them a chance to avoid it.The alerts inform the merchant that a chargeback is pending but has not yet been filed. In this case, the merchant may take independent actions to avoid the chargeback, such as a voluntary refund, and pass this information on to the issuer.

By bundling all the alerts on the market, we can assist merchants with one of the first stages of the dispute-resolution process to resolve the issue without investing significant time into analyzing your disputes while also reducing your chargeback costs.

Alerts come from issuers or card schemes, and they are alerts issued by the user who initiated a chargeback. An overall simplified process for all types of alerts looks as follows:

The cardholder contacts the issuing bank to dispute a purchase.
Issuer returns notifications to the providers directly or via card schemes.
Providers notify Chargebackhit of the upcoming dispute.
Chargebackhit sends a request to the merchant.
Chargebackhit notifies the merchant of the incoming chargeback. Then the merchant can decide whether to refund the customer, stop the order fulfillment, update the order information, or challenge the disputed transaction depending on the alert type.
Merchant completes actions and responds to Chargebackhit with an action taken, for example:
- Match the alert to the transaction in the database
- Refund the transaction
The response is sent back to Chargebackhit.
Chargebackhit responds according to the alert type.
Assuming the merchant wants to avoid a chargeback, they refund the purchase and/or stop order fulfillment.
The issuer receives the information, and under certain conditions, can stop the chargeback process.
The cardholder receives information or a response from the issuing bank that the money will be returned soon or receives additional information in real time about the transaction
Obtaining information can also help to stop the chargeback process.

Chargebackhit has a unified API for all kinds of alerts on the market. Currently, we offer the following products:

Verifi CDRN

Cardholder Dispute Resolution Network’s (CDRN) unique and patented, closed-loop process directly integrates with top issuers and provides unmatched service quality and accuracy for merchants and issuers to resolve disputed payments, dramatically minimizing chargebacks and cardholder dissatisfaction. CDRN receives immediate notifications from issuing banks about cardholder issues.

Verifi CDRN alerts lead to the freezing of the chargeback process for 72 hours.

Verifi Order Insight

Before a dispute can be registered, Visa will require issuing banks to make an Order Insight inquiry into the transaction. Order Insight sends transaction data from the merchant as it is gathered in real-time. This data contains delivery confirmations, purchasing device IDs, and even customer support interactions that link a cardholder to the purchase. Order Insight prevents disputes and friendly fraud by aiding cardholder recognition.

Consumer Clarity

Additional transaction data is displayed to cardholders in real-time on their online statement. Consumer Clarity helps issuers determine if a cardholder has made a purchase, both via contact center or mobile device in real-time (such as Order Insight).

Verifi Inform

When a fraudulent transaction is confirmed, issuers send a fraud alert called a TC40 statement. TC40 tracks stolen card numbers and other identifiers for fraudulent transactions. The VISA product also includes dispute notifications for already-issued chargebacks, which you can receive more quickly than from the bank’s acquirers.

Ethoca

Disputes that have not been declined due to Consumer Clarity requests are routed through the issuer’s network and global Mastercard (including Mastercard Collaboration) alert network before they become chargebacks. Merchants should check these alerts through their payment processor gateway. Refund alerts do not affect merchant accounts as negatively as chargebacks. Typically, merchants will refund, stop shipping, cancel subscriptions, etc.

RDR

If a dispute survives an Order Insight request, Visa has provided a “pre-dispute” phase where transaction details are sent to the merchant for automated review. Here, the merchant specifies certain conditions, the fulfillment of which can result in an automatic refund via Visa Response Online (VROL). Rapid Dispute Resolution (RDR) provides an immediate refund to the cardholder.
