Is there a commission fee on refunds?

No. Refunds are free of commission.

What is a chargeback?

A chargeback is the process initiated by the cardholder’s bank when the cardholder disputes a credit card transaction. This may occur if the cardholder does not accept the payment or if there is an issue with the transaction or the product/service provided—even if the cardholder made the transaction themselves. If the dispute is resolved in the cardholder’s favor, the payment amount is refunded to their card.

International card providers such as Visa and Mastercard set global standards and rules that govern chargeback procedures to ensure consistency and consumer protection worldwide. Both cardholders and merchants are required to comply with these standards. If a customer experiences a problem with a transaction or notices a charge they did not authorize, they can contact their card-issuing bank to initiate a dispute. The dispute process then takes place between the cardholder’s bank and the acquiring bank, following the operational flow defined by the card networks.

Since international payment institutions apply standardized procedures, the chargeback process is the same across the globe. Whether the transaction takes place domestically or internationally, the process does not change. At QNBpay, we strictly follow these rules, carefully review each case, and take appropriate action in line with card scheme regulations to resolve disputes promptly and accurately.

How is the chargeback process initiated and how does it work?

To dispute a transaction made using a credit or debit card, the cardholder contacts their issuing bank. The bank investigates the validity of the transaction, and if the necessary technical conditions are met, the chargeback process is initiated. The process then proceeds as follows:

The issuing bank forwards the dispute to the acquiring bank (merchant's bank).

The acquiring bank shares the dispute with the merchant and requests documentation or information in accordance with card scheme rules, depending on the reason for the dispute.

The merchant submits the requested documents to the acquiring bank within the deadlines set by the bank. If the merchant fails to respond within the designated timeframe, the disputed amount is debited from the merchant’s account.

If the submitted documents are found insufficient under the card scheme rules, additional documents may be requested. Once sufficient and compliant documentation is provided, the dispute is answered using those materials, and the merchant indicates that they do not accept the chargeback claim.

For which reasons can cardholders request a chargeback?

Unauthorized transaction: Disputes involving transactions made without the cardholder’s consent (e.g., fraud, use of card information by third parties, or the cardholder stating "I did not make this purchase").

Process error disputes: Such as duplicate transactions, discrepancies in transaction amounts, etc.

Cancellation/refund transaction disputes

Failure to receive the product or service

Delivery of a faulty or defective product/service

Technical error/authorization (provision) error disputes

Within what time frame must a chargeback be submitted?

The evaluation period for a chargeback varies depending on the reason for the dispute. For 'product/service not received' claims, the request must be submitted within a maximum of 540 days from the transaction posting date. However, the expected delivery date of the product/service must not be more than 120 days prior to the date the dispute is submitted. For 'I did not make this transaction' claims, the chargeback request must be filed within 120 days.

What documents must be submitted by the merchant in the event of a chargeback?

The required documents vary depending on the reason for the chargeback, but in general, merchants are expected to provide the following information/documents:

Transaction details and payment information (e.g., invoice)

Account details and transaction history of the disputing customer

Order form and confirmation

Proof of delivery (e.g., shipping confirmation or a delivery receipt signed by the recipient)

Proof of service provided (e.g., hotel reservation, digital service delivery, digital PIN, etc.)

Documents related to the cancellation and refund policy

How should transaction refunds be processed in the chargeback (dispute) flow?

As stated by the card providers, refunds must be made strictly to the card used in the original transaction. Refunds issued via methods such as wire transfer, EFT, or SWIFT are not considered valid under the rules unless explicitly accepted by the cardholder.

What actions can a merchant take to prevent chargebacks?

Merchants that frequently receive chargeback requests may be deemed high-risk following compliance reviews conducted by payment providers or banks. This can result in service restrictions or even POS cancellations. Therefore, attention should be paid to the following:

Improved customer service: Timely resolution of issues that may arise from customer transactions.

Accurate product and service descriptions: Avoiding incomplete or misleading information in product listings.

Transaction approval and payment security: Ensuring the customer has provided full and correct authorization for the transaction.

Proof of delivery and order fulfillment: Providing documents that confirm the product or service was delivered correctly to the person who placed the order.
