Enhanced Chargeback Rate Calculation for Better Risk Management

Enhanced Chargeback Rate Calculation for Better Risk Management

Shopify Updates: 

What's Changing in Chargeback Rate Calculations?

Starting January 28th, Shopify is updating chargeback rate calculations to offer a more complete and consistent analysis of your chargeback risk. These updates will reflect across your admin dashboard, analytics, and notifications.

Inclusion of All Disputes

The updated chargeback rate metric now includes all disputes, including those resolved through programs like Visa's Rapid Dispute Resolution (RDR). This expanded view ensures that you gain a comprehensive understanding of chargeback activity.

  • Track chargebacks more accurately, including those resolved through RDR.
  • Filter and analyze chargebacks by type (RDR vs. standard chargebacks) in reports.

Why These Updates Are Important

These improvements provide merchants with accurate information to monitor chargeback risk efficiently. By having visibility into all dispute types, you can take proactive steps to minimize elevated chargebacks before they impact your business.
