What Do the Column Titles in the Merchant Account Chargeback Data Report Mean?

The Merchant Account Chargeback Data can be used to monitor all activity for all your merchant accounts from one report. Since it provides such a comprehensive overview, there is a lot of data to share! Here’s what all that information means.

Columns that are used for identification:

  • MID: This column lists the Merchant Identification numbers (MIDs) for all your merchant accounts. This unique number was assigned by your processor or acquirer when the account was created.

  • Alias: Aliases are unique names you’ve picked to identify your merchant accounts.

  • Gateways: This column lists the gateway IDs that are associated with the MID.

Columns that have date-specific data:

Displayed data is limited to activity that took place during the time you specified in the date range selector. If you change the date range, the data will adjust.

Columns that reflect action taken:

  • Actions: The chargeback portal allows you to customize your reports so you can easily see the information that’s most important to you. One way to do that is to allow you to hide account data that you aren’t interested in monitoring. You can click on the Actions menu and hide merchant accounts from the default view.
