What is the advantage of chargeback alert services?

Chargeback alerts are an important tool for chargeback prevention. Chargeback alerts send the merchant a notification whenever a consumer contacts their issuer to initiate a chargeback. This early notification gives the merchant the opportunity to respond in a number of different ways—including issuing a refund or preparing to dispute or accept the chargeback. Thanks to the alert, the merchant has a wider array of possible responses and a longer timetable to make decisions.
