They denied paying a chargeback on a payment they were supposed to protect. This service is not genuine. I’ve been struggling to reach their customer service and no one is helping. On top of that, their portal barely works — it’s slow, confusing, and doesn’t give clear updates. Overall, this is not a reliable service.

ClearSale is a SCAM and a complete waste of money for nothing but a false sense of security. We have paid for Clearsale for 4 years. It's fine until you actually get a fraudulent chargeback. They will do whatever they can to AVOID PAYING YOU. As soon as you make a fraudulent chargeback claim they will DENY your claim right away, without any explanation. Then your multiple requests for information will largely go unanswered. They will try to ghost you. If you are persistent and keep pushing for answers they will look for ANY LOOPHOLE they can find to avoid paying you. SCAM!!!

I strongly advise anyone considering ClearSale to think twice before signing up. My experience with this company has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. They promised to protect my business from fraudulent transactions and assured me of secure, guaranteed sales. Instead, they failed to deliver on those promises. ClearSale took a significant amount of money from my account, yet when fraud actually occurred, they didn’t stand behind their guarantee or reimburse the losses. Communication was poor, and their customer service was completely unhelpful — every time I reached out, I was met with delays and excuses instead of real solutions. This company did not protect my business as advertised and left me feeling scammed. I’m sharing my experience so other business owners can avoid going through the same headache and financial loss I did.

Service is absolutely horrible. Asked to cancel some orders from cover and I was lied to about how many orders was 'not identified' but I showed them clearly we have been charged for them. And then we went on for about a full month of me asking for information of how the charged was calculated and everytime they try and send the document the link was broken, the request was blocked or some issue was happening where I cannot get access to the document. This is really starting to become a scam and hiding behind poor customer service will still charging me $2-3,000 every month. I was talking to Monalisa and she keeps reassuring me they are working asap and will fulfil my request but she keeps sending me broken links and leads me around in circles. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICE

Clearsale is a fraud. They will ignore you and keep your payouts. They do not provide protection like they say they will.

ClearSale Fraud Protection has been essential for our business in the US and Honduras. It gives us the peace of mind to focus on growth without the constant worry about fraud. The app works smoothly in the background, letting us avoid the stress of potential scams. Plus, the cost is fair for the level of protection it provides. ClearSale has become something we rely on every day.

We have worked with Clearsale for over 4 years and their platform, customer service, and dev teams are all top notch. They have even handled special customization(s) that are important to our business.

Good product, but billing is not integrated with Shopify like every other app. Couldn't access their platform to update billing details. They sent the outstanding balance to a debt collector.

Its been over 3 months since they said my chargeback was approved for refund. Kept telling me its the next payout, but its starting to get old. Messaged them 1 months ago on an update, and was ignored until today explaining reason codes which was already provided and approved. Hopefully this negative review will get them to finally payout the refund.

I'm writing this review on my first day using the service. My first impression is simply GREAT! Setting up and integration of service were so easy and straight forward. Then I had an issue with an order not submitted to Clear Sale for review. As soon as I emailed the customer service, I saw a lot of communication back and forth among customer service, technical support and sales to fix the issue and give me a quick decision. I realized the agent Kaio and analyst Yasmin did great job to coordinate among all departments and prioritize my issue till I got a resolution within few hours. I'm really impressed!! Thank you so much!

We signed up with ClearSale in March of 2022. We have paid their monthly service fee for over two years. In Jan. of this year (2024) we had our first chargeback of $137. ClearSale approved the transaction, so we thought we were covered. We submitted the requested documentation for chargeback reimbursement. When submitting a chargeback their client portal states a response will be provided "within hours or up to 7 days." We didn't receive a response or update for 16 days and when we did, our chargeback claim was denied with no explanation provided. We asked several times for an explanation and the only answer provided was, not all necessary information was submitted correctly. Ultimately, Clearsale offered to stand behind their 100% chargeback guarantee, however the story does not end there. We sent no less than a dozen emails asking about our reimbursement. We have been given many excuses as to why the chargeback has not been refunded. Typically, their email will state "reimbursement will be issued in the next payment cycle" and when the next payment cycle comes around there will be another excuse. After three months we finally received our refund however we have lost confidence in ClearSale and can no longer continue with their service.

Our experience with ClearSale began positively with a smooth onboarding and setup process, and we were optimistic about the partnership to effectively manage our risk exposure. However, the journey presented significant challenges. The increase in chargeback rates, which reached nearly 5% against an expectation to remain below 1%, substantially impacted our financial health and customer trust. This necessitated our intervention to manually decline transactions flagged as "High Risk" by Shopify, despite ClearSale's approvals. Further complicating matters, the integration with ClearSale contributed to the loss of access to the Shopify Shop sales channel, which was a crucial and growing source of revenue for our company. We also experienced persistent technical issues with the ClearSale dashboard, including incorrect reporting of transaction values and difficulties in securely maintaining bank information for chargeback refunds. Communication challenges added to the frustration. In nearly every case, we had to initiate multiple follow-ups to understand the reasons behind declined chargeback claims, which were typically reversed only after an email exchange with no new information outside of our initial claim. Additionally, ongoing delays and the failure to receive over $25,000 in approved reimbursements have underscored profound inefficiencies and inconsistencies within ClearSale's decision-making processes. This situation has been further complicated by inconsistent resolutions from different internal agents, leading to repeated flip-flopping on decisions regarding our reimbursements. We are still awaiting payment on approved chargeback refunds dating back to 11/30/2023. These cumulative issues have not only disrupted our operations but have also led to irreparable harm to our business's growth and reputation. Consequently, we have made the decision to terminate our contract with ClearSale and seek alternative solutions for our risk management needs. We cannot recommend ClearSale if your industry is prone to high levels of fraud, your business maintains a relatively high average order value (AOV), or if your operations cannot afford the cashflow risk of delayed chargeback refunds.

I received a chargeback and was approved for a refund on Feb 12th. A Clearsale representative informed me that I would receive payment by March 24th. However, it is now April 9th and I have not received the reimbursement yet. I have attempted to contact them multiple times via phone and email, but the issue remains unresolved.

Gracias a que instalamos ClearSale en supernaturista.com logramos apagar un incendio de contracargos y pedidos fraudulentos que teníamos. Nuestra tasa de fraude ha bajado considerablemente y adicional a eso, el servicio personalizado que ofrecen es muy bueno. Trabajan de la mano para la implementación, capacitación, etc...

It is not an exaggeration to say that ClearSale has saved my business. After a string of chargebacks due to fraud my company took some heavy hits, but ClearSale followed through with their side of our agreement and fixed the situation. I 100% recommend their service and will be a life-long customer. Not to mention Luisa and team have excellent customer service. 10/10 would have a beer with them.

We love this app/service so far. The sales person that set us up was honest and laid out an affordable plan for us. Customer service/support has been helpful as well when we had questions.

I've had them for a couple of months, and I haven't had any problems. Anytime I need something, they're really responsive.

Great support, easy to set up and provides great fraud protection. We'd recommend ClearSale to any Ecommerce business

Unfortunately online fraud attempts are a daily reality for us these days. We had a manual process in place that took up more and more of our time as our store has grown. With Clearsale we now have an automated process in place that gives us piece of mind while we can focus on more customer value added activities. Ralph, our local Australian rep is very responsive when we have any questions or issues.

Love the peace of mind ClearSale provides when selling high ticket items on our Shopify store. Very responsive customer service.
