List of ErrorsA chargeback has already been completed for this transaction. Once a chargeback is finalized, the payment processor blocks additional refund attempts to prevent duplicate reversals.

Recommended Customer Message

The transaction has already been charged back and a refund cannot be issued. For further assistance, please contact your bank or card issuer.

Root Cause

  • Chargeback already processed: The payment has been reversed through a chargeback initiated by the customer, making it ineligible for further refunds.
  • Refund attempted after chargeback: A refund request was made for a transaction that has already been settled via a chargeback.
  • Processor restrictions: The payment gateway blocks refund attempts once a chargeback has been finalized to avoid duplicate reversals.

Troubleshooting and Solutions

  • Inform the customer that a chargeback has already been processed for the transaction, and no additional refund can be issued.
  • Advise the customer to contact their bank or card issuer for any further clarification regarding the chargeback.
  • Review internal records to confirm that no additional refund attempts are made on this transaction.
  • Educate the customer on the difference between refunds and chargebacks to prevent confusion in future transactions.
  • Implement clear communication and prompt issue resolution to help prevent customers from initiating chargebacks.
