Overview

Chargebacks are shopper requests for funds reversal made directly to the bank/PayPal, possible only if the payment was made using a credit/debit card or PayPal. As a rule of thumb, shoppers contact their credit card bank/issuer or PayPal directly to initiate a chargeback.

This report focuses on the evolution of chargeback disputes opened within a specific period of time and it shows data for finished eStore orders paid with credit/debit cards or PayPal.

Filters

In all scenarios, you can use the filters to narrow down the information included in the report.

  • Aggregate reporting data for multiple accounts.  In case you have multiple merchant accounts linked in our system, you can generate the report for all your accounts, saving the time of running the report for each of them. In case you aggregate the chargeback report, the chargeback rate will not be displayed, as the chargeback rate is computed for each of your accounts individually.
  • Chargeback date: The date when the chargeback dispute was opened in the 2Checkout system. This filter enables you to list all chargebacks opened in a specific interval of time for the orders placed in the period of time defined through the start and end dates.
  • Order date: The date when the order was placed. This filter enables you to list chargebacks only for orders in a specific interval of time, within the order start and end dates.
