Overview

SEON has partnered with Chargeflow to provide an automated chargeback management solution for our customers. This service is designed to simplify chargeback handling and maximize your chances of winning disputes. The chargeback management service is available to all SEON customers who operate a Shopify store.

What are chargebacks?

Chargebacks occur when a customer disputes a transaction and requests their bank to reverse the payment. Common reasons for chargebacks include unauthorized transactions, undelivered goods, or dissatisfaction with the product or service. 

While chargebacks offer consumer protection, they can create financial losses, administrative burdens, and strain customer relationships for merchants.

 

Why use an automated chargeback management service?

Managing chargebacks manually can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially for businesses handling a large volume of transactions. An automated chargeback management service helps with:

  • Easy setup: Enable and integrate with just a few clicks.
  • Automated dispute management: Automatically handles your disputes, reducing manual work.
  • Evidence collection: Gathers the necessary evidence for submissions to ensure a high win rate.
  • Insights: Provides a comprehensive overview of chargeback trends, including key performance indicators.

 

How to set it up

  1. Requirements: Ensure that the SEON Shopify application is installed and active.
  2. Contact SEON: Reach out to your SEON representative to request the chargeback management service.
  3. Enable the service: Once enabled, a login option for the chargeback platform will appear in your SEON admin panel.
  4. Log in: Click the login option, which will redirect you to the chargeback platform.

Integration setup:

  1. Select Shopify as your integration in the chargeback platform.
  2. Follow the provided setup guide.

Once the chargeback platform is configured, you will only need to manually intervene in disputes when evidence is missing.

 

How it works

Here are the features you can access from the chargeback platform:

  • Full chargeback data: Access detailed information about all chargebacks.
  • Trends: View trends to understand your chargeback patterns over time.
  • Recovered funds: Monitor how much money you have recovered.
  • Dispute status: Track the status of each dispute from submission to resolution.

 

How to access the chargeback platform

You can login directly to the platform from your Shopify store. Look for your installed apps, and select Chargeflow.

Alternatively, you can login to the SEON Admin Panel, and then choose the Chargebacks option, which then directs you to the chargeback platform.

User management

If you log in to the chargeback platform from your Shopify store, the user account will be the admin account registered to the chargeback service. All users who have access to the store will have access to the chargeback platform. 

In case you have users who only have access to SEON, but not your store, and you want them to have access to the chargeback platform, you need to create user accounts for them. Simply log in to the chargeback platform, choose Settings and add their email addresses.

SEON dashboard integration

In the SEON dashboard, you can:

  • View transactions with disputes: Easily identify which transactions have disputes. Transactions with disputes get the Chargeback tag.
  • Fraud labelling: Transactions with a dispute will automatically receive the eCommerce First Party Fraud label, as described in our Label API v2 documentation. Their status will also be set do DECLINE. This helps you differentiate disputed transactions within your analytics.
Note the Label and the Tags columns

By streamlining chargeback management and providing clear visibility into disputes, this solution empowers you to save time and recover funds more efficiently.
