Alert sent before a dispute turns into a chargeback, giving the seller a chance to refund and close the case.
A pre-chargeback is the notice that arrives when the buyer has already opened a dispute, but it hasn't yet been processed as a chargeback. There's a short window to act.
Refunding within that window closes the case before it counts. The amount goes back to the buyer either way, but without a fee and, most importantly, without counting toward your chargeback rate.
What makes this mechanism work is speed. An alert that sits for two days in an inbox turns into a chargeback all the same.
A chargeback ratio never spikes, it climbs quietly. By the time the platform warns you, three months of damage is already booked. Anyone watching it week by week is never caught off guard.
