DISPUTE AND CHARGEBACK RESOURCES FOR OPTBLUE MERCHANTS.


WE’VE MADE CHANGES TO OUR DISPUTES PROCESSES AND CREATED SOME HELPFUL
EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS - ALL TO MAKE DISPUTES EASIER TO MANAGE EVERY STEP OF THE
WAY.




63% FEWER NON-FRAUD DISPUTES WERE SENT TO MERCHANTS IN 2019 THAN IN 2016
FOLLOWING OUR MULTI-YEAR JOURNEY TO IMPROVE DISPUTES POLICIES AND PROCESSES.1

Redispute Limitation

The number of times a dispute can be raised on the same charge will be limited
to two (2) in most cases.

Chargeback Timeframe Reduction

Now, in most cases,2 you may see significantly fewer Chargebacks 120 days after
the transaction date.

Substitute Receipt

When a Card Member disputes a transaction they don't recognize, we'll provide
them with additional details about the transaction up front, without contacting
you.

No More Missing-Signature Chargebacks

You will no longer see Chargebacks for missing signature on Card Member claims.

These are just a few of the changes we’ve made. To find out more, download our
guide on the latest disputes updates.

DID YOU KNOW?

One of the most common reasons for a dispute is the Card Member not recognizing
a charge on their billing statement, known as a No-Knowledge Dispute.

A simple way to avoid it.

Use your customer-facing business name on the Card Member billing statement. See
how your business appears to our Card Members on their statements and on the
Shop Small® Map.

A bonus for listing correct information.

Your business could be recommended to Card Members in their emails, in their
online accounts, and within the Shop Small® Map.
