As fraud and chargebacks are constantly evolving and on the rise in the ecommerce world, it is crucial for merchants to adopt solutions to reduce fraud and chargebacks. In these instances, it is essential that merchants are aware of and respond to potential disputes in a timely manner – so that they are able to stop delivery of goods and services to fraudulent customers, and therefore retain the cost of goods that would be otherwise lost.
Austreme is pleased to announce its collaboration with Ethoca, a Mastercard company, in a technology integration partnership, that will further boost its comprehensive portfolio of ecommerce merchant services. By reselling Ethoca Alerts through Austreme, Austreme will be able to support merchants through API integration and connectivity, as well as through data analysis. Merchants can now obtain near real-time dispute alerts, automate their dispute management and simplify the refund process to offer a better customer experience.
By providing fraud and chargeback data from their global network of issuers and acquirers in near real time, Ethoca Alerts enables merchants to take action against potential chargebacks by stopping order fulfilment and/or refunding the customer purchase – therefore counteracting the chargeback. Ethoca Alerts can help merchants fight fraud, reduce chargebacks, reduce chargeback related costs and improve overall customer satisfaction and experience.
