If you run a SaaS, e-commerce store, or any online business that processes payments, chargebacks aren’t just annoying—they’re one of the fastest ways to trigger higher fees, account reviews, or even frozen funds. In this video I break down what ChargeBlast actually is (and what it isn’t), then walk you through the exact setup so it’s actively preventing chargebacks before they ever hit your account. The big idea here is simple: most tools help you fight disputes after the fact, but ChargeBlast focuses on prevention by detecting disputes early through card networks like Visa and Mastercard, alerting you in real time, and refunding transactions before they turn into chargebacks. I also show the one prep step most people skip: gathering the required info before you connect Stripe/Shopify or your processor. Depending on the network, you may need billing descriptors (Mastercard/Ethoca), Visa refund ARNs (with the second digit as a 4) or BIN/CA IDs, and for Amex/Discover your legal name/DBA/address/descriptors. From there, you connect your processor, add a payment method (critical—alerts stop without it), and review pricing. Finally, I cover automation (match-score-based refund rules for Mastercard, automatic handling for Visa RDR) and realistic activation timing so you know what “normal” looks like once you go live.
