In the MID Health Report, various terms are used to describe the data. The following is how Midigator defines those terms for the sake of this report.
Term |
Definition |
---|---|
Transaction |
A transaction is a purchase the cardholder makes with your business. Funds are moved from the cardholder’s bank account to your merchant account. |
Dispute |
A dispute refers to all forms of transaction disputes — regardless of the workflow used to resolve the issue. This includes chargebacks, prevention alerts, and Order Insight. |
Chargeback |
A chargeback is a specific type of transaction dispute. The chargeback process is formally regulated by the card brands, and each dispute negatively impacts your chargeback-to-transaction ratio — a closely monitored metric. When a chargeback is filed, funds are removed from your merchant account and returned to the cardholder. |
Alert |
A prevention alert is a specific type of transaction dispute. Prevention alerts act as an advance warning for disputes, giving you the chance to refund a customer before they advance to filing a chargeback. Prevention alerts activity is not formally monitored by the card brands; however, refund activity is a metric used to monitor risk. |
Order Insight Inquiry |
An Order Insight inquiry is a specific type of transaction dispute. Order Insight addresses disputes raised because of confusion or uncertainty. By providing additional transaction details, the issue may be resolved without a chargeback or a refund. |
