What is a Chargeback Ratio?

Modified on Tue, 3 Sep at 10:51 PM

As defined by Visa and Mastercard, your chargeback ratio is the total number of chargebacks divided by your total number of sales over a specific period. For instance, if you processed 500 sales in December and encountered 4 chargebacks, your chargeback ratio would be 4/500, which equals 0.80%. According to Visa/Mastercard standards, this ratio is deemed acceptable.


Merchants should strive to maintain a chargeback ratio under 1%, but Allied Payments can onboard high-risk merchants with chargeback ratios over 1%.
