FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chargeback, and how is it different from a refund?+

A chargeback is a forced reversal of a card transaction, initiated by the cardholder's bank rather than the merchant — the funds are pulled back automatically, often with an added fee, and the merchant has to formally contest it to get the money back. A refund, by contrast, is something the merchant initiates voluntarily, with no dispute process attached.

What size of business does ICM actually work with?+

ICM is built specifically for small and mid-size businesses — e-commerce, Shopify, SaaS, subscription, online education, and travel companies that don't have a dedicated in-house fraud or dispute team, and don't need (or want to pay for) an enterprise-scale platform.

Which payment platforms do you support?+

ICM has hands-on experience with Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, and Shopify — the dispute-handling process differs by platform, and that platform-specific knowledge is a core part of the service. If you're on a different processor, tell us during your free assessment and we'll let you know honestly whether ICM is a fit.

How long does the dispute response process take?+

Response deadlines are set by the card networks, not by ICM — typically 30 days for Visa and 45 days for Mastercard from the point a dispute is assigned. ICM's job is to make sure evidence is gathered and a rebuttal is submitted well inside that window, every time.

Do you only handle chargebacks, or also fraud and risk prevention?+

Both. Chargeback/dispute response is the most visible service, but ICM also does root-cause monitoring, fraud-indicator review, and payment-risk audits aimed at reducing how often disputes happen in the first place — not just fighting the ones that already landed.

How do I get started?+

Request a free chargeback assessment. ICM reviews your current dispute activity and win rate, then recommends the right level of support — from one-time dispute handling to full-service management. No obligation, and we don't promise a specific dollar figure before we've actually looked at your data.

We're a Shopify or eCommerce agency, not a merchant — can we still work with ICM?+

Yes — that's a core part of what ICM does. Agencies partner with ICM on a referral, white-label, or strategic basis to give their merchant clients access to specialist chargeback management without building an internal team. See the Agency Partners page for details.
