When transactions are disputed by a cardholder or issuer, you may face a costly chargeback process. We understand how difficult chargebacks are and we will help you manage and avoid them for all types of transactions. Our chargeback guidance emphasizes card scheme compliance and customer confidence: rely on us to help you prepare for and overcome chargeback challenges without compromising your customers' shopping experiences.

If a chargeback occurs, we will notify you via letter, fax, or email based on the preferences you selected during account setup. This communication will contain details about the chargeback and advise you on next steps. You can also use reports in My Payments Insider to view chargebacks.

To start the dispute process, please contact our Chargeback team by calling 1-866-600-5008 or emailing chgback@elavon.com.

Please reach out to CapitalQ or, if after hours, customer care so we can review the fraudulent transaction details and escalate for resolution. We can also help you deactivate equipment if needed. For more tips on preventing and spotting potential fraud risks, please check out Payments Insider.

To review your transactions, view and download transaction reports in Payments Insider. Search by date range or amount to review and understand your transactions. If you have any questions or concerns about certain transactions, please reach out to customer care to receive additional guidance.

For talech devices, you can also use your talech dashboard to build transaction reports and review recent orders.

Pricing and fees

To review your statements, you can view and download your monthly statement in Payments Insider. Filter by MID, statement type, and date range to understand your charges. If you have any questions or concerns about items on your statement, please reach out to CapitalQ; if any charges have been made in error, we can submit a request to review, remove, and/or refund incorrect charges.

When you close a Merchant ID, you will receive an automated email from us to confirm. After that, there a few areas you should check if you are still receiving any bills:

  • Ensure that you have returned all equipment rentals – if you still have any equipment, you will be billed for those items. For assistance returning all device types, please contact CapitalQ.
  • Check your account statements in Payments Insider to see if there are any other sources of ongoing charges.
  • Contact CapitalQ to verify that your account is closed and receive assistance with any other actions to halt charges and/or grant refunds.

Account maintenance and closure

If you need to make changes to your account, such as change of bank details or registered address, please CapitalQ.

If you would like to close your account, please contact CapitalQ and provide your Merchant ID number. At that time, we can close your account and provide a return box for any rented equipment. To ensure a smooth transition, please ensure that you receive the closure confirmation and return any rented equipment – inquiring how to close, just returning equipment, or closing the account while keeping equipment will keep the MID active and you will continue receiving bills.
