Industry Spotlight

Chargeback

Chargeback was started back in 2007, and initially focused on serving merchants with a high number of chargebacks. However, in 2015, they re-evaluated what their mission was and came to the conclusion that helping all merchants, no matter what their business situation, prevent and manage chargeback fraud.

The goal was simple, and reaching it was possible in no small part due to guidance from their clients. Merchants wanted tools and software that could make understanding their chargeback and dispute situations easier and simpler. Of course, integrations with automation, business rules, workflows, and so on was also high on their priority list. The cherry on top was a desire for a dashboard to manage it all in one place.

So that’s exactly what Chargeback built, and since then, things have been flying high. Chargeback is an industry leader in chargeback monitoring, responses and alerts. They also “offer free monitoring and reporting for all merchants, which allows us to provide immediate value to any and all merchants.” As much as Chargeback values technology, they haven’t forgotten about the importance of a human touch in business. That’s why they have real people working each and every chargeback to ensure their clients get the best outcomes possible.

With their focus on innovation, customer service, and always remaining aligned with what their clients actually need… Chargeback looks has solidified their status as leaders in chargeback prevention and management.
