Overview
Merchants find themselves wrestling with the chargeback process, which is triggered when consumers dispute a purchase transaction, mostly on e-commerce sales. Increasingly, friendly fraud has also become a direct cause of merchant chargebacks. This report delves into chargeback reasons and implications as well as vendors of chargeback services that have emerged to provide solutions for merchants.
A new research report from Mercator Advisory Group, Merchant Chargebacks Are on the Rise Due to Friendly Fraud assesses the challenges and preventive solutions for this increasing problem that affects merchants of all sizes across vertical markets.
