Title: Chargeback Reason Code 72
1Visa Chargeback Reason Code 72
2Visa Chargeback reason code 72 is applied when
merchant didnt take approval before transaction,
or obtained it after transaction date. You take
approval before processing, right? If you have
been accepting credit cards, you must have
learned what will happen if you dont. This
reason code is assigned when transaction received
was above merchants floor limit, for which
authorization wasnt obtained, or it was obtained
using incorrect or invalid transaction data.
3Reasons for Visa Chargeback Code 7
There was a tip included in authorization amount,
or in simple the amount of transaction was
authorized, but the tip was included without
permission. Authorization for bar, taxicab,
beauty shop, limousine, restaurants, and barber
shop transactions are valid automatically,
including 20 percent, to protect merchants from
chargeback when dispute is initiated by the card
holder. It is also valid up to 15 percent for
entertainment and travel merchants.
4Preventing Chargeback code 72
- Obtaining approval before transaction should be
your first priority. When merchants initiate
transaction, an authorization request is sent to
the processor and dollar amount is entered into
it. If the transaction is completed, a receipt is
generated onapproval. If itisnt approved then
you get a decline message. - Including tip in authorized request is not a good
idea. Make sure the authorization amount is same
as check amount. If there is a bill of 45, then
request should be of 45. You can contact POS
vendor and programmed it to only include check
amount before adding tip. - If you are unable to authorize because of
magnetic strip of card cant be read, you can
request authorization by key entering or voice
authorization center. If the request is approved,
keep approval code along with sales receipt with
you. If there was a voice authorization, write
approval code on sale receipt. Take imprint of
the card and make sure that customer signs it. - Terminal is unable to read the chip. Accept EMV
card by swiping magnetic stripe via reader, when
promoted on the screen. If terminal is chip
capable then your preference should be chip
reading before swipe. - If floor limit is zero for all the transactions
then you should authorize all the transactions no
matter what the dollar amount is.
