Calculating a chargeback win rate can be frustrating and confusing, especially with so many factors to consider—like whether to count unfought chargebacks, and how to treat pre-arbitration cases.
It’s easy for our clients to feel overwhelmed when the data payment processors provide doesn’t reflect the full picture. It’s completely valid to want a clearer, more accurate way to measure chargeback representment success.
That’s where focusing on the net recovery rate comes in. By focusing on the net recovery rate, a merchant’s true chargeback win rate, we hope to help simplify the process and give a more realistic view of a merchant’s chargeback response performance.
Understanding a merchant's true net win rate is vital for accurately assessing the effectiveness of their chargeback response strategies. By looking beyond surface-level win rates, merchants can gain a more complete picture of their potential to recover lost revenue and refine their approach, whether that means including additional evidence in chargeback responses, or using prevention tools like RDR or CDRN.
Because most published "win rates" are calculated differently, the win rate our competitors present is often noticeably higher than reality.
While many merchants focus solely on gross win rates, understanding the true net recovery rate offers a deeper and more accurate measure of chargeback success. This true chargeback win rate allows merchants to develop a dialed-in dispute management strategy but most importantly, it gives them a clear picture of the return on their investment in MidMetrics™.
