Chargebacks

Chargebacks occur when an account holder disputes the validity of a credit card transaction and the credit card company issues a chargeback request to Blackbaud Merchant Services. In some cases, such as when the credit card company determines fraudulent activity, Blackbaud Merchant Services must automatically refund the transaction to the cardholder. In other cases, Blackbaud Merchant Services may automatically challenge the chargeback, such as if your organization has already issued a refund for the disputed transaction.

Other types of chargebacks, such as when the cardholder does not recognize a transaction, require attention from your organization. When you have chargebacks that need review, an alert appears at the top of your home page.

From Transactions, Disputes, you can view and manage chargeback requests that require input from your organization, such as collateral to determine the validity of a disputed transaction.
