Use Case: Enable Chargeback Event Alerts
You can receive notifications for chargeback events associated with your account by setting up alerts in the Portal. A chargeback may occur when a cardholder attempts to retrieve funds from a disputed transaction. To receive notifications about chargebacks, you can set up email alerts or web alerts (webhooks) for your account. This tutorial will walk you through the steps required to configure an email or web alert for chargeback events.
Objective
