Heading into your busy season? One overlooked habit could cause your processing fees to spike.

One of the most common (and costly) mistakes we see is leaving transactions unsettled. If you don't batch out daily, your transactions can be downgraded, and downgrades mean higher processing rates.

Batch out at the end of each day to keep transactions qualified while protecting your margins!

Small habit. Real savings. Questions about your current rates? Let's talk.

Setting aside educational posts and want to take a moment to share a personal note.

This coming Monday, the annual Murph workout is done across a majority of the CrossFit gyms around the world. If you watched Lone Survivor, Michael Murphy lost his life so he could get a clear signal for backup.

I cannot think of a better way to honor him and all others that lost their lives defending the United States. This has nothing to do with politics, so please do not misunderstand my post. This has to do with honoring those that served our great nation and lost their lives doing such. Again - put politics aside please.

This coming Memorial Day will mark the 12th straight year of doing the Murph Workout.

Over the last 4-6 weeks, I have posted the 3 top chargeback reasons jewelers experience today. In this video, I recap the 3 reasons;

• Item Not As Described
• Item Not Received
• Unauthorized Transaction

The key here – make some adjustments, can reduce your chargebacks. Have the details buttoned up when chargebacks come in, your rebuttal can win back which only makes financial sense. Do nothing, write them off, that does not make sense.

As I echo in the video, some cardholders like to game the system. Unfortunately, not something law enforcement tackles, yet if they came into your store and stole, that is a crime.

The attached video will describe into greater detail the 3rd most common chargeback hospitality businesses see today – credit not processed. The steps I have outlined in this video will help you reduce such oversights from occurring and reducing these types of chargebacks. At end of day, each chargeback successfully defended or prevented, means bottom line funds staying within your property.

Continuing our series on the most common chargebacks experienced by hospitality properties, we turn our focus to #3 — Credit Not Processed.

The good news? This is one of the most preventable chargeback types. A few simple, consistent steps — communicated clearly at online or phone booking, confirmed to the guest shortly thereafter, and reinforced at both check-in and check-out — can significantly reduce how often this dispute occurs at your property.

In the attached postcard, I walk through those steps, and in the following week I will post a video that dives deeper into each one.

My hope is that this chargeback series continues to be a practical resource for your property — helping you reduce disputes, strengthen your processes, and protect your revenue.

As always, if you have any questions or would like to learn more about how we can help, don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1 Step Technologies. We are here to help. Thanks. Joe Radest

Continuing our series on the top chargeback reasons jewelers face, we turn our attention to the 3rd most common dispute — Unauthorized Transaction.

In the attached postcard, we outline practical steps you can implement today to help mitigate and protect your store against this type of chargeback occurring at your location.

Stay tuned — next week I will be following up with a video that dives deeper into each of the strategies outlined here.

I hope these tips are proving valuable as you work to reduce chargebacks and strengthen your defenses. Every dispute you successfully prevent or win is revenue reclaimed — turning what would have been a loss back into your bottom line where it belongs.

Let's keep protecting your jewelry store(s).

Any questions – get in touch with me. Thanks. Joe Radest

Spring is here, which means it’s not just time to clean out closets… it’s a great time to clean up your payment processing too!

A friendly reminder to take a few minutes and review your processing statements, especially the footers! That’s where the details (and often the surprises) live. 🔎

A quick review now can lead to meaningful savings (and fewer headaches) down the road.

If you ever want a second set of eyes, the team at 1 Step Technologies is always happy to help.
