Stop Chargebacks Before They Hit Your Account (Charge Blast Setup)
ChargeBlast is one of those high-leverage tools if you process payments at any real scale, because it focuses on preventing disputes before they become chargebacks. I like that it works at the card-network level (Visa/Mastercard), so a lot of issues get stopped upstream instead of showing up as chargebacks in your processor.
Pros
+Prevents disputes before they turn into chargebacks (not just post-dispute management)
+Real-time alerts through card networks like Visa and Mastercard
+Automation options (match-score refund rules for Mastercard; Visa RDR handled automatically once enabled)
+Runs quietly in the background once configured
Cons
-Requires specific setup info (descriptors, ARNs, BIN/CA IDs) that you may need to request from your processor
-Visa RDR activation can take 1–2 weeks, so results may not be immediate
-Alerts stop if you don’t keep a payment method on file
