How To Dispute Payments on Frame
Understanding how to dispute payments is crucial for merchants using Frame. A payment dispute occurs when a customer questions or challenges a transaction made to a business. This can happen for various reasons, such as the customer not receiving the product or service, the product or service being faulty or not as described, or the customer not recognizing the transaction on their bank statement. Disputes can also arise from fraudulent transactions, where someone other than the authorized account holder makes the payment.
When a payment dispute occurs, it can result in a chargeback or refund request, where the payment is reversed or refunded to the customer. This can have a negative impact on the business, leading to lost revenue, increased chargeback fees, and potential damage to the business’s reputation. Therefore, it’s important for businesses to have a clear dispute management strategy in place to handle disputes effectively.
