Process Smart Terminal Transactions

Funds may be held for a variety of reasons, including protecting against fraud and exceeding deposit limits.

Fraud: To protect against fraud, some transactions may require additional validation. Chase may hold funds and request documentation from you to ensure the transaction is legitimate. If additional documentation is required you will receive an e-mail from WePay.com with the subject line “Additional information needed to resume payouts for your QuickAccept account”. Once the documents have been reviewed and the transaction is approved, Chase will deposit the funds into your account.

Deposit Limits: Limits are set at the account level and differ by a variety of factors. Funds may be held when the deposit amount exceeds a deposit limit set by Chase. Deposit limits cover potential chargebacks, returns, unshipped merchandise, refunds, and/or unfulfilled services and act as a buffer between the time payments are processed and the time you can access these funds, in order to mitigate the risk of making funds accessible immediately.

If you experience a funds hold and have a question, go into your Chase Online Business portal transaction history, choose the transaction and view details. Under view details choose “Report a Problem” and complete the form. Be sure to use the email address used to open your Chase checking account.

• Smart Terminal payments completed before 8 PM Eastern Time Sunday through Friday will be deposited into your Chase Business Checking account by 12 AM Eastern Time.
• Smart Terminal payments completed before 8 PM Eastern Time on Saturdays will be deposited into your Chase Business Checking account by 7:30 AM Eastern Time Sunday morning.
• Any Smart Terminal payment completed after the daily cut off time will be deposited the next day.

The deposit limit is evaluated on a regular basis, and may be raised or lowered at any time, based on your payment history.

If you would like the deposit limit adjusted outside of the normal monthly evaluation, open a support ticket and send documentation when requested.

Use these guidelines when opening a support ticket:

• Enter the email address used when you opened your checking account
• Choose “Quick Accept” from the “What can we help you with” drop down box
• Do not enter any other personal information such as your checking account number

Individual transactions may require additional information to ensure they are not fraudulent. This type of review protects you and Chase and can easily be resolved by you sending a receipt when requested. If, on occasion, your weekly payments exceed a threshold established for your business, Chase may hold the funds amount over the threshold, again, to validate activity. This happens very rarely.

If you have further questions, go into your Chase Online Business portal transaction history, choose the transaction, and view the details. Choose “Report a Problem” and complete the form. Be sure to use the email address used to open your checking account.

For each Smart Terminal transaction, fees are subtracted from your total before you receive your deposit. No additional transaction fees will be charged at the end of the month. To see the deposit amount and any adjustments and fees, go to the Chase Merchant Dashboard in your online account.

No, currently Smart Terminal is only available to clients with a social security number. If you used an ITIN to open your CBCB account, you will not be able to use QuickAccept at this time. If you have already processed a transaction, please open a Support Ticket for assistance.

At this time merchants using Smart Terminal can process international credit cards using the Swipe, Dip, or Tap methods of entry on the Smart Terminal. For manual entry transactions only cards with a US-based billing address can be used.

You can only add tips to a processed transaction if you are set up to be collecting Tips on Receipt (See Merchant Settings in the Activating your terminal section).

Transactions that require tip to be added are marked as “pending” in the Sales Activity transaction list. If tip isn't applied within 24 hours of the transaction, the transaction is automatically closed with a $0 tip being applied.

Once a tip has been applied, updates or changes on that tip amount are no longer available.

The reference code is an optional field you can add to a sale to further categorize your transaction, for example, Sales promotions, Marketing offerings, Invoice or PO number, etc.

For Smart Terminal app transactions, the timing of the POS transaction capture is determined by the Tips setting.

• If Tips is chosen as Off or On screen the Smart Terminal transactions will be automatically captured in the background immediately after successful POS authorization transactions.
  • These transactions will be displayed with Completed status
• If Tips is chosen as On receipt the Smart Terminal transaction capture will be delayed until the transaction Tip amount is adjusted on the Transaction detail screen or 24 hours has elapsed after the initial POS Authorization transaction date/time
  • These transactions will be displayed with Pending status

Note: Funding of a transaction won't occur until it's Completed

You’ll need to contact the Chase Smart Terminal support team for assistance in diagnosing the cause and resolving the issue. Contact our customer support team at 888-659-4961.

No. Card-based refunds can only be applied to the original card. Cash or other refunds should be issued in a way the merchant chooses.

You can only void (or cancel) a Pending Tip (not yet settled) transaction. Transactions that have been settled require a refund to be issued. On the Transaction Details screen you'll see the option to Void if available. This will be replaced by the option to refund if that's available.

The Tip report can be seen by any of the merchant’s Smart Terminals, and includes the tip amounts from any terminal associated with that merchant account. The report can also be printed by the receipt printer for offline record keeping.

A dispute happens when a customer formally reports that a charge on their card wasn't legitimate. When a customer disputes a charge, the customer’s payment is reversed while the case is being reviewed. Disputes are initiated by the customer through the bank that issued the card. Your customer may have filed a dispute because they:

• Didn't receive a product or service
• Doesn't recognize the charge or payee on their statement
• Believe the product or service was defective, damaged, or not as it was described
• Were a victim of fraud — their credit or debit card was stolen or used without their consent
• Were charged twice

You'll be notified when a dispute claim has been made and we don’t have the documentation needed to challenge. You have a limited time to send proof that the charge was legitimate. Because of the time sensitivity, it's best to monitor your account online frequently. Most card networks allow customers to dispute payments for up to 120 days after the transaction took place, in some cases up to 540 days. American Express^® allows customers to dispute payments at any time.

Chase will notify you of the dispute through email. You can also see the dispute on the Smart Terminal Dashboard.

When a customer disputes a charge made on their card, the bank that issued the card credits the cardholder and the payment brand credits the issuing bank. The disputed amount is temporarily deducted from your next settlement while the claim is being reviewed. If there aren't enough funds in your next settlement, the amount is deducted from your Chase bank account.

See the status of your dispute on Chase Merchant Dashboard in your online account. You'll receive an initial e-mail notification informing you of the dispute details. Carefully review the information contained in the notification email, particularly the dispute type. You may be given the option to contest or concede the dispute. If you accept responsibility for the dispute, choose Concede. The funds won't be returned to your Chase bank account.

If, however, you challenge the dispute, you need to provide supporting evidence that the good or service that you agreed to provide to the customer was carried out as intended. Please consult the guide below to determine what documents you need to send for the most common dispute types.

From the day that you receive your dispute notification, you'll have five (5) business days to send your evidence. This window ensures that Chase has sufficient time to present the evidence to the cardholder’s bank and/or card network within their allocated timeframes. We evaluate late submissions on a case-by-case basis and send accordingly.

Once you have gathered all of the documents, choose the Contest button and upload your documents. Please keep in mind that there are size limitations on files, so you may want to send screenshots. For instance, if you send your refund policy but the file size is too large, take a screenshot of the page with the cardholder’s signature. Chase currently accepts JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF, PNG, and PDF (preferred) files. For each dispute, send up to five files, 1 MB per file. If you have multiple picture files that exceed the combined size limit, compress each individual file and upload again.

Once Chase receives your response and supporting evidence, we'll challenge the dispute with the cardholder’s bank on your behalf. If you win the dispute, Chase releases the disputed funds back to your bank account in the next settlement and your confirmation will be sent. Due to timelines for card networks and issuing banks, the dispute can take up to 45 days to be resolved.
