What are the main types of chargebacks e-commerce stores encounter?

Created by Axaipay Admin, Modified on Thu, 29 Oct at 9:52 AM by Axaipay Admin

E-commerce disputes generally fall into three categories:

  1. True Fraud (Identity Theft): An unauthorized party uses stolen credit card details or compromised account credentials to purchase items on your website.

  2. First-Party Fraud ("Friendly Fraud"): A legitimate cardholder or household member makes a purchase, receives the product, and subsequently disputes the charge claiming they never authorized it or did not receive it.

  3. Merchant or Service Issues: Disputes triggered by operational missteps, such as delayed shipping, unfulfilled cancellations, billing descriptor confusion, or products arriving defective or not as described.
