What is the dispute rate? 

The dispute rate is a calculation made based on the total number of transactions compared to the total number of lost disputes received by the merchant.

  • Ex. A merchant has 350 transactions and 2 disputes so the percentage of disputes over the transactions is 0.57% which is under the maximum allowed.

The dispute rate can not exceed 1% of all processed transactions. In the case the rate of 1% is reached, Payyo can take action to avoid any future issues. Firstly Payyo will do a deep dive into the transactions which could result in:

  • Transaction blocking for specific regions
  • Transaction blocking of IP addresses
  • Blocking payouts
  • Full risk review
  • Blocked account
