We signed up with ClearSale in March of 2022. We have paid their monthly service fee for over two years. In Jan. of this year (2024) we had our first chargeback of $137. ClearSale approved the transaction, so we thought we were covered. We submitted the requested documentation for chargeback reimbursement. When submitting a chargeback their client portal states a response will be provided "within hours or up to 7 days." We didn't receive a response or update for 16 days and when we did, our chargeback claim was denied with no explanation provided. We asked several times for an explanation and the only answer provided was, not all necessary information was submitted correctly. Ultimately, Clearsale offered to stand behind their 100% chargeback guarantee, however the story does not end there. We sent no less than a dozen emails asking about our reimbursement. We have been given many excuses as to why the chargeback has not been refunded. Typically, their email will state "reimbursement will be issued in the next payment cycle" and when the next payment cycle comes around there will be another excuse. After three months we finally received our refund however we have lost confidence in ClearSale and can no longer continue with their service.

Our experience with ClearSale began positively with a smooth onboarding and setup process, and we were optimistic about the partnership to effectively manage our risk exposure. However, the journey presented significant challenges. The increase in chargeback rates, which reached nearly 5% against an expectation to remain below 1%, substantially impacted our financial health and customer trust. This necessitated our intervention to manually decline transactions flagged as "High Risk" by Shopify, despite ClearSale's approvals. Further complicating matters, the integration with ClearSale contributed to the loss of access to the Shopify Shop sales channel, which was a crucial and growing source of revenue for our company. We also experienced persistent technical issues with the ClearSale dashboard, including incorrect reporting of transaction values and difficulties in securely maintaining bank information for chargeback refunds. Communication challenges added to the frustration. In nearly every case, we had to initiate multiple follow-ups to understand the reasons behind declined chargeback claims, which were typically reversed only after an email exchange with no new information outside of our initial claim. Additionally, ongoing delays and the failure to receive over $25,000 in approved reimbursements have underscored profound inefficiencies and inconsistencies within ClearSale's decision-making processes. This situation has been further complicated by inconsistent resolutions from different internal agents, leading to repeated flip-flopping on decisions regarding our reimbursements. We are still awaiting payment on approved chargeback refunds dating back to 11/30/2023. These cumulative issues have not only disrupted our operations but have also led to irreparable harm to our business's growth and reputation. Consequently, we have made the decision to terminate our contract with ClearSale and seek alternative solutions for our risk management needs. We cannot recommend ClearSale if your industry is prone to high levels of fraud, your business maintains a relatively high average order value (AOV), or if your operations cannot afford the cashflow risk of delayed chargeback refunds.

It is not an exaggeration to say that ClearSale has saved my business. After a string of chargebacks due to fraud my company took some heavy hits, but ClearSale followed through with their side of our agreement and fixed the situation. I 100% recommend their service and will be a life-long customer. Not to mention Luisa and team have excellent customer service. 10/10 would have a beer with them.
