avoided.io , a real-time chargeback prevention and fraud alert platform, is tackling this problem head-on by empowering businesses to act before disputes escalate , keeping chargeback ratios low and processing accounts secure.

In today's volatile payments environment, exceeding chargeback thresholds can place merchants on network watchlists , such as Visa and Mastercard's Excessive Chargeback Programs. The result? Higher fees, frozen funds, and the threat of account termination — all of which can cripple a business overnight.

avoided.io reduces this risk through seamless integration with Ethoca and Verifi , delivering instant fraud alerts and chargeback warnings directly to merchants. This gives businesses the opportunity to stop fulfillment, issue proactive refunds, or dispute false claims before a chargeback is filed.

“Our mission is simple — help merchants protect their revenue and their ability to operate,” said Rolands Selakovs , CEO of avoided.io . “We don't just help fight fraud. We help keep merchants off acquirer radar and out of the red.”

avoided.io also offers:

The platform is especially valuable for medium to high-risk merchants in e-commerce, travel, subscriptions, and digital goods — sectors with elevated chargeback exposure.

As payment providers and banks tighten their risk controls, merchants need smarter tools to remain compliant and reduce liability. avoided.io delivers that capability — all while improving operational efficiency and preserving customer trust.
