The Problem

E-commerce merchants lose billions annually to chargebacks, facing a no-win choice: refund suspicious orders immediately (hurting cash flow) or risk $15-100 fees plus lost product and hours of manual evidence gathering. Current processes are reactive, inconsistent, and time-consuming, with no data-driven way to optimize decisions or prevent disputes from escalating.

Potential Solution

A SaaS platform that uses machine learning to score transaction risk in real-time, recommends optimal actions (proactive refund vs. dispute), auto-generates compelling evidence packages from order data and communications, and manages the entire dispute lifecycle across payment processors through a single unified dashboard.

Why Now?

Chargeback volumes have surged 20%+ post-pandemic as e-commerce grew, while new Visa/Mastercard rules increase compliance complexity. Merchants need automated, intelligent solutions to scale profitably amid rising fraud and customer dispute awareness.

And you usually find out when you're kind of reconciling your numbers, and something is just a little bit off. And like, for a brand that's doing a few million dollars a year, that really adds up to like one to two percent of your total revenue. Like, literally, poof, gone. And most operators just eat it. Like, it's a cost of doing business. You know, I've even fought disputes manually, and to be honest with you, like, it's literally a full-time nightmare. And that's exactly what charge flow fixes. Like, two-click Shopify install, and their AI builds and submits the evidence on every single dispute for you. And here's the kicker. You only pay when they win money back for you.

Leaders In Payments You know, if you notice like a merchant or a partner that is approaching a chargeback rate that's like slightly elevated, and then that might lead to some processing issues, you know, we could have an agent that starts monitoring those transactions, noticing when a transaction comes in that has properties that are similar to disputes that might have happened in the future or chargebacks that might have been filed in the past. Sorry, I mean, and then you know, proactively suggesting to the merchant, you know, hey, this may result in a chargeback. Potentially at this point, we would suggest proactively refunding, you know, and something like that.

Chargeback automation, why is the evidence still so manual?
If you're using an automated chargeback platform or template system, is it connected directly to your eCommerce, payment, shipping, and support systems? The most effective solutions won't simply generate a response; they should automatically pull the right evidence based on the reason code. That typically won't completely eliminate manual input -- AI can't handle nuanced cases reliably -- but it should really cut down you manhours.
