Avoid Costly Chargebacks with Rapid Dispute Resolution & Other Alerts

Most businesses encounter periodic chargebacks, and it is best to address them quickly, so they don’t negatively impact your revenue. By the end of 2023, chargebacks will cost merchants nearly $118 billion, according to a Chargebacks911 study, but this amount could be lower if more merchants invest in preventative alerts.

One effective alert for reducing chargebacks is Visa’s Rapid Dispute Resolution, or RDR. RDR provides merchants with the ability to resolve disputes before they become chargebacks by automatically refunding the shopper based on merchant-defined rules. You can set the amount limit you’d like Visa to automatically refund, leaving no additional work on your end to avoid the chargeback.

While any business can use this tool, it is highly effective for those that encounter frequent chargebacks. RDR reduces the time you need to spend working with the card brands and managing disputes. With RDR, you reduce your overall chargeback ratio. RDR occurs before a chargeback is created, therefore it will not be considered when Visa calculates your chargeback ratio. This reduces the chance of your business being placed in their excessive chargebacks program and allows you to continue processing legitimate transactions.

Other alerts, like Verifi and Ethoca, also assist in mitigating the effects chargebacks have on your business. By implementing them, you will be able to better identify fraudulent activity and potential chargebacks before they become a problem, saving your business time and revenue.
