🛠️ Overriding Chargeback Protection Decisions

1. Manually Override Chargeback Decisions

Merchants can manually override individual chargeback protection decisions via the merchant admin panel on the purchase record.

Override Example

⚠️ Important

  • Overriding a decision transfers chargeback liability to the merchant.
  • Overrides help improve Rapid's fraud models over time.

2. Overriding with Pending Manual Reviews

If your account has chargeback reviews enabled, purchases that are flagged by protection tools will be marked as Pending Review.

Merchants can manually accept or reject these within 24 hours.

  • If accepted: Status becomes Overridden
  • If no action in 24 hours: Approvely voids the transaction
  • You can customize the review window by contacting Approvely
Pending Review Example

⚠️ Warning

Accepting a Pending Review also shifts liability to the merchant.
