𝟯 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟰 Starting July 24, 2026, acquirers must open a formal investigation within 72 hours when any of these thresholds are crossed. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 1️⃣ Combined chargeback + refund rate: 5% This one hits new merchants hardest. If all of these apply to you:   • Less than six months of Mastercard acceptance history   • More than 5% of transactions resulting in chargebacks or refunds (combined) over any rolling 30-day window   • At least 500 transactions   • Your acquirer has to investigate. Subscription businesses are especially exposed. Failed cancellations, trial-to-paid disputes, recurring charge confusion – all count toward that 5%. 2️⃣ Authorization approval rate: the 50-point drop Auth rate falls 50+ percentage points within 72 hours – say, from 90% to 40%? That's a trigger. Same goes for any drop below 30% absolute, with at least 25 transactions in the window. 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: legitimate auth drops happen. New market expansion, processor outages, seasonal spikes. Mastercard doesn't distinguish intent. It flags the pattern first. 3️⃣ Issuer fraud reports: 2 issuers is the threshold Two different issuers reporting at least one transaction each as a scam (fraud type 56 – manipulation of cardholder) triggers the investigation. Applies to merchants with less than six months of Mastercard history. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗼 𝗗𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟰 → Track your combined chargeback + refund rate daily, not monthly.  → Sign up for products like Consumer Clarity to be able to deflect chargebacks without issuing refunds. → Clean up your checkout: clear product descriptions, visible refund policies, transparent billing descriptors.  → Keep your auth rate stable: test new markets with small volumes; communicate planned changes to your acquirer.  → Talk to your acquirer now, not after you're flagged. Make sure they understand your business model, seasonality, and expansion plans. Our team at Chargebackhit has been digging into this since Mastercard published the revisions. If you're not sure about the action plan, drop me a message or reach out to our team.

The best conversations don't happen at payments conferences. They happen at the dinner after 😉 And we built that dinner. During MPE, we hosted the largest side event with TRMNL4, Snap Inc., and Tipalti. 70 consumer tech leaders – founders, operators, and investors – talking over cocktails and a DJ set at a waterside restaurant in Berlin 🍸 Big thanks to our partners who helped put it together – and to everyone who showed up and made the room what it was ❤️🔥 We're definitely doing this again. Stay close. #MPE2026 #MPEBerlin

The industry spent 2025 building checkout protocols for AI agents. Consumers are still deciding whether they want AI to browse for them — let alone buy. Our CPO Artem Sadurskyy looked at the data, mapped what has actually been shipped, and wrote up what people are ready to use, and what your payment infrastructure actually needs to support both. In this edition of the Orchestrator: ◆ The 34-point comfort gap between AI browsing and AI buying ◆ What protocols actually do today (and don't) ◆ Where payment orchestration fits as the channel develops If building for AI-assisted commerce is on your agenda, this edition is for you.

Every casual catch-up turns into a demo. But can you blame us for that? 😊 Solidgate is many things – no small talk will ever be enough for Alex Donohoe, our Sales Executive. We're a payment orchestration platform: cards, alternative payment methods, digital wallets, anti-fraud, chargeback prevention, subscription management, and business bank accounts – and yes, it's hard not to bring it up. But what really drives us is simpler: we handle payments so businesses can focus on building great products, without losing their mind or sleep over it.

𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗜-𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 – 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲'𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹 🚀 Agentic commerce has moved into production with real transaction volume behind it. We've been watching this develop for a while. Now we're ready to support it for e-commerce merchants — starting with Google's UCP. UCP runs across Google Search, AI Mode, and the Gemini app, where shoppers can complete a purchase without ever leaving the conversation. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲: ✔️ Transactions from Google's AI surfaces get routed, processed, and reconciled through the same stack that handles every other channel you're already on ✔️ You're in the first wave without having to rebuild anything "If you want to get into the first wave of agentic commerce, you can work with us directly. We're ready to support testing and adoption as this channel develops." — Artem Sadurskyy, CPO at Solidgate. Read the full announcement 👉 https://lnkd.in/diiXyr2X
