Important

Merchants should respond to Ezypay with the supporting documentation/ evidence in a timely manner. We only has a specific time frame (varies from banking institutions) to help merchants defend the dispute.

Reasons for a chargeback

Customers may dispute a payment for reasons such as:

  • Unrecognised transactions or merchants.
  • Incorrect or duplicate charges.
  • Goods/services not delivered or not as described.
  • Unauthorised or fraudulent payments.
  • Recurring payments after cancellation.

Ways to reduce chargebacks

To minimize disputes:

  • Inform customers that Ezypay handles billing.
  • Clearly explain costs, including fees.
  • Ensure customer consent for payments.
  • Maintain records of provided goods or services.

Ezypay has requested for 9 mandatory items to be integrated. This includes the 'Acceptance of Ezypay's Terms and Conditions' and 'Acceptance of Ezypay's fees', to ensure that a customer acknowledges Ezypay is handling the payment and aware of extra fees. These can be used as supporting evidence for chargeback disputes.
