PCI stands for “payment card industry” and it’s the first half of the acronym PCI-DSS. The second part stands for “data security standards.” While you may see the full term PCI-DSS, it’s more common to see just “PCI.” However, it refers to the same set of standards.

We are seeing disputes on the increase recently, which is why we want to bring up this subject and provide info to help protect your business.  Although chargebacks and disputes are an unwelcome part of business operations, you can minimize the chances that you’ll be impacted by this growing hazard. Using a “broad brush”, there are four basic reasons why a business might see a dispute/chargeback.1.       Services not provided or merchandise not received 
2.       Services or product not as described or defective
3.       Credit Not Processed
4.       Cardholder Reports Fraud
