FAQ

Card payments and chargebacks, explained plainly

What is a chargeback?

The card issuer reverses all or part of a card transaction, usually for the cardholder. Common reasons are disputes, fraud, processing errors and authorization problems.

Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, the written dispute must reach the card issuer within 60 days after the first bill with the error was sent.

What happens after a dispute is filed?

The issuer must acknowledge it in writing within 30 days and resolve it within 90 days.

What counts as a billing error?

Charges with the wrong date or amount, math mistakes, goods or services that weren’t accepted or weren’t delivered as agreed, and charges the cardholder didn’t authorize.

What is PCI DSS?

The card industry’s baseline security standard for protecting payment account data. It applies to everyone involved in card processing, including merchants.
