Dropshipping Processing Built Around Your Model
Challenges Dropshipping Merchants Face
Fulfillment Dispute Chargebacks
Shipping delays, lost packages, and supplier errors generate a high volume of buyer disputes that can quickly elevate your chargeback ratio.
Processor Refusals
Many banks and processors automatically decline dropshipping applications, citing the elevated chargeback risk of the model.
Supplier-Related Fraud Exposure
Dropshippers who rely on third-party suppliers have limited control over fulfillment quality, increasing exposure to fraudulent orders and disputes.
Sudden Account Terminations
Dropshipping accounts that experience a spike in chargebacks are often terminated without warning, leaving businesses unable to process payments.

Why Dropshipping Is High-Risk
Chargebacks are rampant in the dropshipping industry. All transactions are card-not-present, which increases risk. Banks worry about reputational exposure from merchants that may not maintain quality control. Fraud is common since many transactions occur online. And some dropshipping operations have thin profit margins, which concerns processors about long-term viability.

Common Pitfalls
Selling products you have not tested leads to quality control issues. Running out of inventory creates fulfillment problems.
