How Work Order Authorizations Help Fight Chargebacks

Chargebacks can be very disruptive to your business. The system is designed to favor the customer rather than the merchant, so banks force you to prove that your shop did the work correctly. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent a customer from filing a chargeback due to claims of fraud or bad service. However, RoadSync helps prepare you to fight chargebacks before they happen.

MAKE CHARGEBACKS A THING OF THE PAST!

Getting a call-out from a new customer is always exciting, because it means business! But we know how it goes down sometimes. Maybe the driver disappears because another heavy duty tow and repair company got there faster. Or maybe you provide service, but the driver disputes the charges later.

These common scenarios make it all the more important that you and the driver confirm details BEFORE heading out—and agree to them with a digital signature. 

 

Read on to learn about the three must-haves in your agreement—and discover how RoadSync Checkout helps you get paid faster and avoid chargebacks.



Terms and Conditions

Terms & Conditions are designed to protect your business and technicians. Think of them as the rules of the relationship between you and your customer—you can keep them high-level and general, or make them specific to different types of requests.

 

Confirmation of Service Rates

Miscommunication is often the reason for the customer arguing over service rates—or worse, disputing the charges later. To avoid this, make sure all information about pricing is communicated in writing, and included in the contract for the customer to sign. 

 

Electronic Signature from Customer  

Once you’ve presented the previous two items, the last step is to get an electronic signature from your customer. This instantly generates a digital paper trail that is easy to reference if any questions arise before or after the work is complete.
