Transaction Chargebacks Pane
A chargeback is a reversal of a credit card transaction, typically initiated when a customer disputes the legitimacy of a financial transaction. When a chargeback occurs, the amount of the transaction in dispute is taken back from the merchant’s account, often together with an additional bank payment processor fee, and the amount will not be returned unless the merchant can prove the original transaction is legitimate.
