Manage chargebacks and reversals

When a chargeback occurs, it's important to act quickly. Check out the details and tips outlined in this article to help you manage chargebacks, using NuORDER Payments.

Note: If you're using Lightspeed Payments, the Lightspeed Team will reach out to you. If you see a chargeback before their outreach, contact heroes@nuorder.com.

Things to keep in mind

Too many chargebacks can have disastrous impacts to your business.

Buyers can dispute charges if they feel the terms of the agreement for payment were not met. Unlike a refund, which is resolved between buyer and seller, in a chargeback, the buyer contacts their card-issuing bank.

Chargebacks may also occur if you enter a credit card on behalf of a buyer. To protect yourself, make sure you obtain written permission from the cardholder before adding their card into NuORDER.

Chargebacks will always be decided by a cardholder’s bank. NuORDER is not able to influence or revert this decision. If a chargeback is lost (e.g. you don't dispute a chargeback or it's resolved in the buyer’s favor), the fee is $35.00 (if the transaction is done through NuORDER Payments) and $15.00 (if it's done through Lightspeed Payments). Some banks may also charge an additional penalty fee; contact your bank to learn more.

Responding to a dispute

When a chargeback occurs, the most important thing is to act quickly.

Most chargebacks in wholesale are made in error, so contacting the buyer to see if they can drop the chargeback and accept a refund is the best and most common course of action (as a reminder, a NuORDER Payments refund fee is only $0.30. There is no refund fee if the transaction is through Lightspeed Payments).

Sometime a chargeback can't be drop after it's initiated. If the buyer can't drop the chargeback, contact the NuORDER Support team at heroes@nuorder.com to submit any supporting evidence and materials.

Note: Although we cannot affect the outcome of the chargeback, we want to make sure these end in your favor.
