Why This Happens

Square monitors chargeback rates across all merchants. When your dispute rate exceeds acceptable thresholds, your account enters a monitoring program. Excessive chargebacks result from poor customer service, unclear billing descriptors, product quality issues, or fraudulent transactions being processed.
