100% Proven Fighting Technique:

Chargeback Prevention and  

AVS Address Verification Strategy

The very biggest topic of concern today is fraud. To fight the amount of it in the credit card processing industry, the bank networks have come up with several systems to double check certain information during the course of a sale. Fraud is especially high when it comes to chargeback disputes. A chargeback occurs when a customer claims they did not authorize a credit card sale or amount for whatever reason. 

One of these sales situations occurs when a credit card number must be typed into the credit card processing terminal or software. During this time, the card is not physically being swiped through a magnetic card reader. Therefore, the software and processing company's software protectin program knows it's being manually typed in. This type of sale is considered a higher risk and as a result, gets assigned to it a higher processing fee. All companies like Visa and Mastercard have this type of chargeback system in place.

 

Now, when a typed in or "keyed" in transaction (sale) occurs, the terminal you are using should prompt you, on the screen, to enter additional address information only your customer would know. What the credit card company wants to know is, "Where are the statements mailed to for this particular credit card?" This helps avoid chargebacks.

 

You see, Visa and Master, for example, want to match up what the customer is claiming is the address, to what they have in their files. If you enter incorrect information, the card will still process and you will get an authorization approved code. Therefore, what you should really do is, look at a customers drivers license and verify the signature looks similar.

 

The next step is to reduce your risk by gathering some of your customers information. You will want to do this because an avs match still doesn't protect you from a chargeback dispute with the customer.

 

Here's how to win 100% of those chargeback disputes even though the avs address verification service was used.

CREDIT CARD PROCESSING

Ok. Here's my sales pitch area.


If you've never accepted credit cards at your business, this is how much it will cost you.

 

$10/month (A monthly statement fee)

 

Visa & Mastercard Credit

1.68% + .25 cents per transaction

 

Visa & Mastercard Debit Cards

1.38% + .25 cents per transaction

 

We also have a monthly minimum required that your account must reach. 

 

$25. This means that your total sales must be around $1,600 a month (1.68% X 1600= $26.88) Otherwise, if your sales are, let's say $1000, meaning only $16.80 has been generated in fees, then you'll get charged the difference ($8.20) that month to make up the difference you didn't reach in fees. Does this make sense.

 

Those are the basic fees. Please contact me to explain the other stuff that you should be aware of. Or click here to read more about credit card processing fees
