Chargebacks are the nightmare of every game server owner using card payments. A player buys a rank, uses it, then disputes the charge weeks later claiming fraud. You lose the sale and pay an extra fee.
The Nuclear Option: Switch to Crypto
The only 100% effective chargeback prevention is crypto payments. ForgeStore integrates with NOWPayments — crypto transactions are final and irreversible. Zero chargeback risk, period.
If You Must Accept Cards
ForgeStore automatically records fraud evidence on every PayPal and Stripe purchase:
- Real buyer IP address (Cloudflare-verified)
- Buyer country via IP geolocation
- Device fingerprint (browser + OS)
- PayPal Payer ID and email
- Exact purchase timestamp
When a chargeback is filed, you submit this evidence to your payment provider. With documented proof that the buyer was present and made the purchase from their own device, you win most disputes.
Velocity Checks
ForgeStore automatically blocks suspicious purchase patterns — same player buying 3+ times in 10 minutes is flagged and stopped. This catches stolen card testing before it causes damage.
Chargeback Command
Set a chargeback command in your store settings. If a player successfully disputes a payment, the command fires automatically — removing their VIP rank or purchased items instantly.
