IT Chargebacks And Why They Occur
An IT chargeback occurs when a customer calls their bank in frustration over a transaction and they are credited their money from the transaction. While this sounds like a refund, it’s very different from a merchants perspective, especially in this industry as the cost of services is high.
Why Are They Costly?
Chargebacks are expensive for several reasons:
1. Time/Resources: Managing chargebacks requires significant time and resources, which adds to the overall cost.
2. Potential for disputes: If disagreements arise about the validity of a chargeback, it can lead to expensive and time-consuming arbitration.
3. Lost revenue: When a chargeback occurs, the sale is reversed, and the product or service you provided and any associated future revenue are lost.
4. Damage to reputation: Chargebacks can negatively impact your company’s standing with credit card processors, potentially leading to higher processing fees or losing the ability to accept credit card payments altogether.
Benefits Of Chargeback Management
Managing chargebacks effectively can significantly boost your business’s bottom line, saving you from unnecessary costs and potential reputational damage. With a strategic system in place, you gain control over the financial impact of chargebacks. This means less lost revenue.
Moreover, effective chargeback management can enhance customer service. It allows you to resolve disputes promptly, fostering trust and loyalty among your consumer base.
