Merchants lose billions of dollars to disputes annually1
Along with the meteoric rise of ecommerce transactions has come a corresponding rise in disputes. This has created a frustrating and costly reality that leaves merchants overburdened with disputes over valid transactions or disputes that cost more to fight than initial transaction to fight. The downstream effects give merchants the burden of added operational expenses, fees, and potentially a loss of processing privileges.

Verifi’s PREVENT and RESOLVE solution suites offer merchants the opportunity to resolve inquires in the pre-dispute stage, before a chargeback is initiated.
Pre-dispute prevention and resolution lowers dispute volumes with automation to protect fraud and dispute-to-sales ratios, alleviate operational expense, and stop fees and penalties associated with the traditional chargeback process.
PREVENT equips merchants to bridge the communication gap with transaction transparency and data sharing to automatically deflect confirmed first-party-misuse pre-disputes.
RESOLVE empowers merchants to automatically intercept inquires in the pre-dispute stage. Merchants have the choice to resolve the pre-dispute by providing the cardholder a credit or proceed with the traditional chargeback process.
