Update: 12/1/2025: Still no contact from Clearsale. Even though they were going to "Escalate" to the head of their customer service on 11/07/25. Still no contact about getting reimbursed, no coverage for the fraud that THEY said was OK to send. Do not use this service...It is a complete scam! This app is a scam! After more than 4 years of having this app, we received our very first chargeback and have had little to no response from Clearsale. When they do respond, they are simply copy/paisting responses. They give you the runaround when pushing for reimbursement for a chargeback that THEY approved, even after you load up all the documents to their un-user friendly portal. Now I'm trying to cancel the service and can't get anyone to respond. The chargeback was only for a $25.00 sale...Could you image if it was something of high value? I just can't believe we wasted all this money each money thinking we were protected.

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.

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.

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.
