YNOT – International payment solutions provider CommerceGate has implemented a new prescreening service to aid online merchants in reducing chargebacks and declines. The tool can help merchants streamline their accounts for optimal payment processing regardless which gateway they use.

CommerceGate’s prescreening services are offered to all merchants that utilize the DHD platform. The service works with cascading billing and allows clients with their own merchant accounts to add state-of-the-art processes from a risk-management specialist to their join procedures.

“Our proprietary processing services have saved our clients many thousands of dollars by reducing the number of refunds and chargebacks they have faced over the years,” CommerceGate Chief Executive Officer Bjorn Skarlen. “We understand that some merchants prefer to handle their processing in-house or have chosen other quality companies to add in their billing cascades. This new suite of prescreening services is designed to allow every merchant to take advantage of our risk-management services to help reduce fees and adhere to card association compliance ratios.”

CommerceGate prescreening allows merchants to avoid fraudulent charges by visitors and chronic chargeback perpetrators and prevents many declined transactions before they occur. According to Skarlen, the total cost of prescreening is far less than that of declines and chargebacks, both of which can harm a merchant’s account if they reach levels above those set by the card association or bank.

Merchants can receive scrubbing advice from CommerceGate without blocking the transaction process, giving webmasters the ability to analyze the report and manually scrub only the transactions they choose to void.
