What makes up your chargeback costs?

$

Dispute fees

Acquirers charge a processing fee for every chargeback received — typically $15–$25 per dispute — regardless of whether you win or lose. These fees accumulate fast even at low dispute volumes.

!

Monitoring programme penalties

Visa's VAMP and Mastercard's SMMP programmes impose fines when your chargeback rate crosses 1%. Fines can reach $100,000+ per month and, in extreme cases, lead to merchant account termination.

Lost merchandise and fulfilment

When a chargeback is lost, you lose both the payment and the product or service already delivered. This double loss — revenue plus cost of goods — is why a high chargeback rate is so damaging to margins.
