How to use Ethoca Alerts to prevent chargebacks
Ethoca’s chargeback alerts are a very valuable risk management tool. They can effectively stop certain chargebacks from happening.
But to achieve the best results possible, you’ll need to understand how alerts work and what it takes to manage them.
What are chargeback alerts?
Ethoca alerts are a warning system that can help you prevent chargebacks.
Ethoca has created a technology platform that connects cardholder banks and merchants. Through this connection, the bank can contact you directly if there is a problem with a transaction. Once you’ve been alerted to the situation, you can refund the transaction, resolve the dispute, and stop the chargeback from happening.
What are the benefits of chargeback alerts?
There are several advantages of using chargeback prevention alerts. Any merchant — whether card-present or card-not-present, big or small — can benefit from this dispute resolution technology.
- Reduce chargeback rates by 30-40%. Intercept and resolve customer disputes before they become chargebacks. Keep chargeback counts low to avoid potential merchant account closure.
- Be notified of complaints within 24 hours rather than waiting for a chargeback 2-5 weeks later. Identify and solve underlying issues so you can stop future disputes from happening.
- Stop fulfillment before merchandise ships. Retain fulfillment, shipping, and product costs.
- Enhance the customer experience with quick resolutions.
How do chargeback alerts compare to other prevention techniques?
How do Ethoca alerts fit into a comprehensive prevention strategy? How does this technology compare to other available options?
- Alerts have a very simple integration process. You can get up and running in a matter of hours, meaning you’ll almost immediately start to see a reduction in chargebacks.
- The technology platform used to issue alerts has been around for years — it is well-established and proven effective.
- Of all the tools currently available, alerts have the highest success rate and stop the most chargebacks.
