# Chargeback alerts

> Catch disputes early — before they become chargebacks

Connect an alert network and disputes reach you within hours instead of
weeks — early enough to act before they count as chargebacks against your
payment accounts.

## Set up chargeback alerts

In **Integrations**, open **Set up chargeback alerts**, choose your
provider — **Chargeblast** or **Disputifier** — and pick the **MIDs to
enroll**. Alerts start flowing in for the enrolled accounts.

## How alerts work

When a shopper disputes a charge with their bank, the alert network hears
about it first. Apptics matches each incoming alert to the exact
transaction it concerns, and anything that **needs action** is queued for
you — typically resolved with a refund — before the dispute escalates
into a formal chargeback.

## Why it matters

A chargeback costs you twice: the lost revenue, and the dispute ratio
your payment providers watch. Resolving alerts early keeps that ratio
down and your payment accounts healthy.
