Disputes, Refunds, and Customer Fraud Approval
Dispute
A dispute is a guest / customer reporting to their credit card company that a payment on their card should be refunded to them. The credit card brand will then take back the amount of the transaction. Customers / Guests can file a dispute for various reasons including unauthorized transactions, failure of the merchant to deliver the item, and defective or broken items being delivered.
See the Stripe documentation for more information on disputes in general and how the process works.
If you would like to fight this customer / guest dispute, you should reach out to [email protected] and include the reason you are fighting this dispute, and any pictures or evidence you have to submit for this.
Refund
A refund is a merchant returning the value of the credit card transaction to the guest.
Refund Timing
We submit refund requests to your customer’s bank or card issuer. Your customer sees the refund as a credit approximately 5-10 business days later, depending upon the bank. Refunds can’t be canceled after they’re issued. Disputes and chargebacks aren’t possible on credit card charges that are fully refunded.
Some refunds—those issued shortly after the original charge—appear in the form of a reversal instead of a refund. In the case of a reversal, the original charge drops off the customer’s statement, and a separate credit isn’t issued.
Refunds on orders placed before 11/8/2022: Email support and please include identifying information for the order you want refunded and email [email protected].
Refunds on orders placed after 11/8/2022:
Steps to refund an order:
Collect the web order number from the customer.
Search the web order number on the web order lookup page in the PXS.
The user will see a Refund button on the web order lookup page next to Order Status.
Clicking that button will bring up a confirmation page.
Refunding the order will remove the remaining balance from the any cards associated with the order, and mark those card as suspended for their account status.
If part of the value has already been used by the guest, the pop up will look as follows. The Order total will show in the first line, as we are refunding the entire balance back to the customers purchase method. We show the remaining balance of any associated cards under the “Current Card Balances” section.
Once an order has been refunded, the Order Status will update to Refunded. The value shown after the Refunded text will match the order total, as this represents the amount of money returned to the customer.'
Security with Forter (Customer Fraud Approval)
We use Forter for helping detect fraud for sales using PX Payments. They help detect what customer purchases might be fraud and then block those customers from purchasing eGift cards and using other PXS Payment powered features. Gift Card fraud, especially eGift purchases, is common and so this tool helps us lower the number of charge backs and general fraud that our customers see.
Sometimes this fraud can catch real guests, and our customer might have a guest reach out to them saying they are getting an error when trying to purchase an eGift card that they can’t get around. This error will be a red bar on the eGift purchase page that is comes back when the customer tries to submit their order. It will read, “Failed to submit your order: Unknown CC Auth Error”. Once a guest payment method has been flagged as potential fraud, they likely will be denied from submitting orders with that specific payment method indefinitely.
If you would like us to review and change the decision on a guest, please email [email protected] and include information on the guest (date of order and guest email). This should only be done if you have had contact with the guest and really trust that they are are not a potential fraudster.
