The Pre-chargebacks Events Report displays events and transactions for which a potential chargeback was raised, before a formal chargeback/dispute was opened. Merchants can see the event for a particular transaction and its status. This report is relevant for merchants enrolled in the following pre-chargeback programs offered by Nuvei:
- Ethoca Alerts (owned by Mastercard)
- Rapid Dispute Resolution (RDR) by Verifi (owned by Visa)
- Order Insight by Verifi
With Ethoca Alerts and with RDR, merchants can enroll in these programs for both Nuvei transactions and for transactions not processed by Nuvei. Therefore, the Pre-chargeback Events Report can help merchants manage their entire pre-chargeback activity in one platform.
Ethoca Alerts
Ethoca Alerts is a collaboration-based solution to prevent disputes and fight fraud.
Ethoca network connects issuers, acquirers, and merchants by sharing fraud and dispute data. By receiving real-time fraud alerts (on Mastercard transactions and also on Visa transactions to a certain extent), merchants can quickly identify fraud, adjust disputed orders, issue refunds, and prevent the need for chargebacks.
Upon receiving an alert, merchants have a 48-hour window before a chargeback occurs, during which they can send their decision regarding the case to Ethoca and halt the chargeback process. Merchants can also set a rule to automatically refund transactions up to a threshold amount.
Nuvei can easily connect merchants to Ethoca alerts for both transactions that were processed by Nuvei and transactions that were not processed by Nuvei.
In the Pre-chargebacks Events report, the following values for the Event Type report parameter appear for Ethoca events:
- Alert: Alert for a Nuvei transaction.
- External Alert: Alert for a transaction not processed by Nuvei.
RDR
Rapid Dispute Resolution by Verifi is a fully automated dispute management solution for Visa transactions. It facilitates seller, issuer, and acquirer collaboration to resolve unnecessary disputes at the pre-dispute stage.
When enrolling in RDR, merchants set rules that, if a potential chargeback is raised, determine whether a transaction can be refunded before becoming an actual chargeback.
Merchants can manage all of their RDR activity in one place by enrolling in RDR via Nuvei for transactions processed by Nuvei and for transactions not processed by Nuvei. When enrolled in RDR via Nuvei, cases are handled completely automatically, without merchant involvement, and based on the pre-defined rules.
In the Pre-chargebacks Events report, the following values for the Event Type report parameter appear for RDR events:
- RDR: Successful RDR event for a transaction processed by Nuvei.
- RDR Failure: Unsuccessful RDR event for a transaction processed by Nuvei; a refund could not be processed. Based on the rules set by the merchant when it enrolled in RDR, the transaction could not be refunded and RDR was not triggered.
- External RDR: Successful RDR event for a transaction not processed by Nuvei.
- External RDR Failure: Unsuccessful RDR event for a transaction not processed by Nuvei; a refund could not be processed. Based on the rules set by the merchant when it enrolled in RDR, the transaction could not be refunded and RDR was not triggered.
Order Insight
Order Insight by Verifi sends to Nuvei inquiries raised by issuers to retrieve data regarding Visa transactions. Nuvei automatically responds to the inquiries, providing additional data on the transaction directly to the issuer. The data can help cardholders recognize these transactions, which reduces the chances of a chargeback.
In the Pre-chargebacks Events report, the following value for the Event Type report parameter appears for Order Insight events:
- Inquiry: Real-time event automatically responded to by Nuvei.
