Holiday shopping chargebacks: How retailers can prepare
By:

By JonCarlo Hernandez, Digital Marketing Manager at Jusst

The holiday shopping season brings both opportunities and challenges for merchants. While sales surge, so does the risk of fraud and chargebacks. With e-commerce reaching new heights – $222.1 billion in online sales from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31, 2023, up 4.9% year-over-year – retailers must prepare for the surge in transactions, and potential increases in illegitimate chargebacks.

How merchants can prevent chargebacks:

Implement Clear Communication & Policies

  • Clearly communicate shipping times and return policies to customers.
  • Provide real-time tracking information and set up automated return confirmations.
  • Make the refund process transparent and quick – notify customers promptly about processed refunds.
  • Use billing descriptors that clearly state the name of your business on credit card statements.

How merchants can mitigate the damage of:

Strengthen Data Collection & Documentation

  • Maintain robust transaction records, including delivery tracking and communication history.
  • Review your data storage and seek opportunities for better data hygiene and handling.
  • Calculate your win and recovery rates to identify areas for strategy improvement before the holiday surge.

Be Ready to Prevent the Best Evidence

  • Review card scheme rules, including Mastercard’s First-Party Trust and Visa’s Compelling Evidence 3.0 guidelines. Incorporating these programs can make a significant difference and even shift liability for qualified chargebacks.
  • Prepare resources to tackle common chargeback reason codes, especially fraud, “not as described,” and “product not received”.
  • Prepare to handle chargebacks related to Buy Now, Pay Later methods, which saw significant growth in 2023.

Leverage Automation to Improve Efficiency Amidst Volume Surges

  • Address scalability challenges by automating dispute processes.
  • Dispute up to 100% of chargebacks within minutes – minimize the risk of missing disputes.
  • Choose a solution that is easy to go live with.
  • Consider partnering with a flexible chargeback management solution that can handle multiple payment service providers (PSPs).
  • Consolidate data into one centralized hub for easier management and analysis.

Preparation is Key

Chargebacks can be a big challenge for retailers during the holiday shopping rush, but with proper preparation, they can be mitigated. Consider partnering with a chargeback management service to help with disputes and representment during the high-volume holiday season.

Justt’s automated chargeback management solution integrates easily with over 44 payment-service-providers to process and dispute 100% of chargebacks on behalf of merchants worldwide.

Mastercard x Worldpay collab seeks to reduce merchant chargebacks
By:

Mastercard and Worldpay have formed a new partnership they claim will help merchants to resolve transaction disputes faster and with fewer chargebacks.

Chargebacks – a request for a refund triggered when a consumer disputes a transaction on their account – are a growing issue: industry-wide chargeback volumes are expected to reach 337 million by 2026, a 42% increase from 2023 levels.

Through the partnership, Worldpay, a global payment technology and solutions company, will offer Mastercard’s Ethoca Alerts to its 1 million merchants worldwide. The service provides an early warning system that helps prevent a dispute from becoming a chargeback and reduce potential financial losses due to fraud.

Ethoca Alerts, by Mastercard, works across all payment brands and delivers insights that merchants can use to stop the fulfilment of goods and services. Merchants do not need to change their existing infrastructure or processes to take advantage of Ethoca Alerts. 

The collaboration will also help improve authorization rates for merchants, enabling more of the $2.3tn total transactions Worldpay processes to be completed successfully thanks to fewer erroneously declined transactions.

Johan Gerber, Executive Vice President, Cyber and Intelligence at Mastercard said: “With ecommerce thriving, we’re working to make transactions as safe and as seamless as possible for all parties. This partnership with Worldpay extends our powerful technology to even more merchants around the world, reducing fraud. By working together, we will advance our shared goal of building trust and powering the global digital economy.”

Gabriel de Montessus, Executive Vice President, Global Enterprise at Worldpay said “We’re pleased to bring this solution to the market in partnership with Mastercard to deliver more value and innovation to our clients. Creating more accessible, more flexible and more seamless ways to reduce fraud, while accelerating commerce and protect consumers and merchants is what drives us at Worldpay.”

Between 2022-23 Ethoca Alerts enabled the prevention of $1.6bn in fraud due to chargebacks, helping to protect retailers from fraudulent claims.
