What is a chargeback in retail?
A retail chargeback is a fee a retailer charges a supplier for breaking a compliance rule. Late delivery, a missing ASN, the wrong carton label, an unapproved carrier, or a short shipment all carry their own charge. The retailer deducts it from payment instead of invoicing for it, so it arrives as a smaller remittance.
This is a different thing from a payment-card chargeback, which is a consumer disputing a transaction. In wholesale the term means a compliance penalty, and it is levied by the buyer against the supplier.
