Frequently asked questions
How does Chargeflow's pricing work?
Pricing is usage-based rather than subscription-based. Insights analytics is free, Prevent charges $0.20–$0.40 per scanned transaction (first 1,000 free), Alerts charges $29 per deflected chargeback, and Automation charges 25% of each recovered chargeback. You pay only on successful outcomes, and there is no minimum commitment; enterprise volumes get custom terms and SLAs.
How long does implementation take?
The vendor advertises sign-up in minutes, a roughly 90-second setup and live prevention within 24 hours, using single-click native integrations with 100+ processors, gateways, commerce platforms and helpdesks. Larger enterprises are routed to sales for custom onboarding, additional integrations and governance.
What compliance certifications does Chargeflow hold?
Its security page states SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance, with AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit, MFA, OAuth 2.0 and third-party penetration testing, and data hosted on AWS. The pricing FAQ also refers to an "ISO" certification without naming the standard, so buyers should request the specific certificate. HIPAA and FedRAMP are not claimed.
Which platforms does Chargeflow integrate with?
Chargeflow lists 100+ integrations: payment processors and gateways such as Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Braintree, Checkout.com, Klarna and Afterpay; eCommerce platforms including Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Wix and Salesforce Commerce Cloud; subscription tools such as Recharge and Chargebee; and helpdesks including Gmail, Zendesk, Intercom, Gorgias and HubSpot.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No. The vendor states you can start for free with no credit card and that pricing is usage-based, with enterprise volumes moving to custom terms, SLAs and annual agreements. A 4x ROI guarantee and pay-on-success model mean fees apply only to recovered or deflected chargebacks.
What support is included?
Chargeflow advertises 24/7 support by live chat and email, a help centre, dedicated success managers with quarterly win-rate reviews and a private Slack channel for teams. The Enterprise plan adds an assigned enterprise specialist plus SSO, EU data-residency options and legal redlines. No response-time SLA is published for standard plans.
