Pre-dispute benefits
Pre-dispute advantages are a key aspect of Solidgate’s chargeback prevention services. These services enable merchants to address disputes at the pre-dispute stage, thereby not affecting their credit and debit portfolio dispute ratios.
- Lowered dispute ratios
Merchants can lower their dispute ratios by resolving pre-disputes with credit through Solidgate. This is particularly beneficial for merchants with high dispute ratios, as it does not impact Visa’s dispute ratio. - Reduced operational requirements
Optimizing dispute resolution processes, especially for disputes with low recovery rates, leads to fewer operational demands. This streamlining effect significantly reduces the workload and resources required to manage disputes. - Eliminate over-refunding
Pre-disputes resolved through Solidgate are not eligible for future disputes, eliminating the possibility of over-refunding. - Increased dispute visibility
Solidgate provides access to adaptable reports tailored to seller reconciliation needs. This feature enhances dispute visibility, allowing merchants to better understand and manage their dispute landscape.
By resolving disputes before they progress to the chargeback stage, merchants not only avoid revenue loss from chargebacks but also maintain a favorable standing with credit and debit card issuers.
