Can you prevent all chargebacks?

While there are solutions to significantly reduce your chargebacks, there’s no guarantee you can prevent all chargebacks. Under the current system, you may not even want to. You can absolutely eliminate chargebacks due to merchant error. By using alert services Ethoca and Verifi, you can preempt most chargebacks by refunding disputes. However, if you can’t prevent friendly fraud from becoming chargebacks, you need to take the chargeback in order to fight them through representment.

While you may not be able to stop 100% of the chargebacks you potentially face, there is still much you can do to prevent the vast majority.
