⚠️Chargeback Transactions

In this article:


🔥 Quick Summary

A chargeback happens when a member disputes a payment directly with their bank or card issuer instead of requesting a refund through Nas.com.

Because the dispute is handled through the bank, the process is different from a standard refund on Nas.com.

If a chargeback is officially recorded in the Nas.com system:

  • The business owner will receive an email notification

  • The Nas.com team will guide the business owner on the next steps


❓ What is a Chargeback?

A chargeback happens when a cardholder disputes a payment directly with their bank or card issuer.

This may happen for several reasons, including:

  • The member believes the transaction was unauthorized

  • The member says they did not receive the product or service

  • The member is dissatisfied with the purchase

  • The member was unable to resolve the issue directly with the Business Owner or Manager

When a chargeback is opened, the bank or card issuer reviews the case and decides the final outcome.


🔄 What’s the Difference Between a Refund and a Chargeback?

Refund

Chargeback

Initiated by the Business Owner or Manager through Nas.com

Initiated by the member through their bank or card issuer

Processed directly within Nas.com

Managed through the bank or card provider

Usually faster and more straightforward

May take 30–90 days and the outcome is not guaranteed

In some cases, a refund may fail because the member has already opened a dispute with their bank or card issuer for the same transaction.

When there is an active bank dispute, the refund may no longer process normally.

If the failed refund is officially recorded in the Nas.com system as a chargeback, the Nas.com team will notify the Business Owner by email.

If you no longer want to contest the case and prefer to proceed with the refund instead, you can inform the Nas.com team that you want to accept the chargeback. Once accepted, the case will be closed immediately.


⚠️ What Happens When a Chargeback Is Filed?

When a member files a chargeback, the transaction amount may be placed on hold while the bank or card issuer reviews the case.

If the chargeback is eligible to be disputed and the Business Owner wants to contest it, the Nas.com team will send a dedicated form by email where supporting documents can be submitted.

📌 Business Owners should provide all relevant supporting documents that may help resolve the case in their favor.

For each chargeback case, the Business Owner may receive:

  • Up to 3 reminder emails before the submission deadline

  • A confirmation email after the required documents are successfully submitted through the form.


⚖️ When Should I Challenge or Accept a Chargeback?

You may want to challenge the chargeback if:

  • You have proof that the member received the product, service, access, or attended the session

  • You have communication records confirming the purchase or delivery

  • The dispute appears to be a misunderstanding

  • The member continued using the product, service, or community access after payment

You may want to accept the chargeback if:

  • The member’s dispute reason is valid based on your records or CMP history

  • The product or service was not fully delivered

  • You already agreed to issue a refund

  • You do not have enough supporting evidence before the submission deadline

  • You no longer want to continue contesting the dispute

📌 If you want to accept the chargeback, you can inform the Nas.com team so the case can be processed accordingly. Once accepted, the chargeback case will be closed immediately.


📄 What Evidence Should I Submit to Counter a Chargeback?

If you want to counter a chargeback, provide clear and organized proof showing that the transaction was legitimate and that the member received the product, service, or access they paid for.

Supporting evidence may include:

  • Proof of delivery or fulfillment

  • Screenshots showing member access to the paid product or service

  • Receipts or transaction records

  • Communication records with the member

  • Timestamps, confirmations, or delivery records

  • Terms, conditions, disclosures, or refund policies related to the product or service

  • Any additional documents that help support the validity of the transaction

📌 For faster review, include:

  • The member’s name or email

  • Relevant dates and timestamps

  • Clear proof of delivery, fulfillment, or access in your screenshots or files.


📬 What Happens After I Submit My Documents?

Once the documents are submitted, the chargeback case will be reviewed through the payment provider and the member’s bank or card issuer.

Any applicable:

  • Chargeback fees

  • Recovery fees

  • Payout adjustments

will be handled based on Nas.com’s current Terms of Use and the payment provider’s rules.

If the dispute is won:

If the case is resolved in the Business Owner’s favor, the chargeback amount may be returned accordingly.

📌 Although the payment gateway may still charge a chargeback fee, Nas.com covers that fee as a goodwill gesture when the case is won.

If the dispute is lost:

If the case is resolved in the member or cardholder’s favor:

  • The deduction will remain

  • Any applicable gateway charges may appear as a negative wallet adjustment.


⏰ What Happens If I Miss the Deadline?

If you do not respond within the required timeframe or fail to submit the requested supporting documents, the chargeback case will automatically be lost.

Once the bank or card issuer makes a final decision, the result can no longer be appealed through Nas.com.

📌 Nas.com does not control the submission deadline. The deadline shared by the Nas.com team is the same deadline provided by the bank or card issuer through the payment gateway.


🔄 Can a Member Cancel a Chargeback?

Nas.com cannot cancel a chargeback on behalf of the member.

If the member wants to cancel the dispute, they must contact their bank or card issuer directly.

📌 If possible, ask the member to provide:

  • A screenshot or written confirmation that they want to withdraw the dispute

  • Any confirmation from the bank showing that the chargeback was cancelled or withdrawn

This information can be added to the case where relevant.

⚠️ Only the bank or card issuer can officially cancel, withdraw, or reverse a chargeback.

Even if the member provides written confirmation, the dispute case may still be lost if the bank does not officially process the cancellation on their side.


🔍 Where Can I See Chargeback Transactions?

You can view chargeback transactions from your transaction list in the Nas.com portal or mobile app.

  • Go to Money → Transactions

🛡️ How Can I Avoid or Reduce Future Chargebacks?

To help reduce future chargebacks:

  • Make sure your product or offer description is clear and accurate

  • Provide clear support or contact information for members

  • Keep records of member access, delivery, and communication

  • Resolve refund concerns early before they escalate into bank disputes

📌 Clear communication and proper documentation can help reduce misunderstandings and improve your chances if a dispute occurs.


❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I do not want the transaction to be refunded to the member. What should I do?

Once a member files a chargeback through their bank or card issuer, the dispute process is no longer fully controlled by Nas.com or the Business Owner.

You may still try to resolve the issue directly with the member, but the bank will continue reviewing and handling the dispute case.


Q: I refunded the member outside Nas.com. Can the chargeback still be cancelled?

If the chargeback dispute is already active, the member must contact their bank or card issuer directly to withdraw it.

📌 Nas.com cannot cancel a bank dispute on the member’s behalf.


Q: I received an email saying I lost the dispute. Can I still appeal?

No. Once the bank or card issuer makes a final decision in favor of the member, the outcome is final and cannot be appealed through Nas.com.
