We used ClearSale for six months, everything was going well until the first chargebacks arrived and they never covered them, that is, they don't pay the chargebacks. They claim to be the only company that covers 100% chargebacks and it's a lie, we canceled it.

Clearsale as a fraud protection company…
Clearsale as a fraud protection company is a waste of your time, money, and, energy. At first let me clear how a fraud protection company becomes fraudulent against your rights and, I hope you please guys share this content, so it becomes viral as follows:
Me:
Hi,
My name is ### and, i got approved for order ####, then the customer opened a chargeback. I placed my trust in clearsale even the order was not fulfilled. But i have been charged with shopify fee, bank fees and overdraft my bank account as a result of this financial loss. I expect you to collaborate in order to fix this inconvenience incident that i never wished to happen from my end.
Best regards,
Business Owner
CLEARSALE:
Hi,
As the order was not fulfilled, you wouldn't be entitled to a refund.
In this case, what's the total amount of fees you lost, considering your Shopify fees and the chargeback fees?
Me:
Hi,
That sounds ridiculous, how clearsale is going to cover delivery fulfilled transactions only, with high risk inpact for customers, and, neglet non fulfilled orders wih minimum costs. This is the dark side of clearsale that any customer would be fearful to deal with. To start please i need refunds for canceled orders without chargebacks, #### & ####, by applying a credit of $$$$ for these transactions already mentioned before within these emails. I've being waiting for this forever, address this issue soon please. Its the least you could do or i will have to report a civil lawsuit, pertaing these transactions.
Best regards,
Business Owner
As a result of an incident like this, you are going to experience a poor customer service, and, disrespectful administration by ignoring what you deserve as a customer, and delaying the solution. Because you simply stressed to fix this issue.
The least they can do is that even for simple canceled orders without a chargebacks. Then you still are going to have a headache to get that refund.

A monkey with a red and green button could do a better job
The most frustrating and idiodic experience of my life. I will no longer do buisness with an online retailer if there is any affiliation with clearsale. Their approach to fraud supression is to automatically deny anytning and blame it on the bank. Once denied you're blacklisted with no way to way to appeal. This company is a joke.

Very poor experience working with David…
Very poor experience working with David Fletcher and Brian Clarke. Typical salesmen overpromising and underdelivering. Great guys in the beginning from first point of contact to plug in. However, once all these issues started arising 1 week into Clearsales system, we had to call it quits. The VP of Operations came back offering to waive first month and saying that they would be able to resolve all the issues we were experiencing. I emphasized that they should've handled all this from the start so what makes me believe they will actually get it done. Clearsale messed with our sales flow big time and it was the biggest headache I've ever experienced working with any company. After cancelling with them, I receive an invoice in which I forwarded to David and Brian. Of course, they go MIA since I am not their client anymore. After multiple follow up emails on my end over the course of 5+ days, David Fletcher finally replied (not politely) after I advised that I would be taking this to their supervisor. This review would've been avoided completely if I would've just gotten one simple reply confirming not to worry about the invoice that should not have been sent to me. To top it off, we just got charged last night even though they stated we would not get charged. Pretty ridiculous. They really need to figure it out over there. Do not waste your time with them.

Absolute scam
Absolute scam, standard Florida company operation... their service does nothing, it's just a sales trick. We tried to cancel the service and they are still charging our card and won't cancel the service. This is theft and this company is worthless. STAY AWAY

Avoid ClearSale if you give care about…
Avoid ClearSale if you give care about your business.
From the first sales rep, until the last customer support representative, every single Company represenative lies to the customer so they hear what they want to hear.
1. The worst customer support - They take many days or weeks to answer simple questions about your account.
2. They claim they will reimburse your orders until later they claim they will not.
3. Shady and unethical sales practices but unexperienced and incompetent sales agents.
4. Obvious fraud gets regularly approved by Clear Sale.
Clear Sale is a waste your money and time. Thank God I demo'ed only two websites, I will bring my many dozens of sites to a competent Company who doesn't complicate and lie to their customers.

We are saddened to hear you had such a negative experience with our Company. We are sad you were not able to experience the same level of service and satisfaction our customers are used to. Rest assured that ClearSale strives to provide the highest quality fraud prevention services to all our customers.
In order to help us better understand and rectify the issues you experienced with us, please send us an email at [email protected] detailing your issues so we can conduct an internal investigation, or call us directly at +1 786 888 4584. Please share:
1) Please elaborate on what our “shady and unethical” sales practices are and which member of our sales team engaged in these practices. We at ClearSale do not condone any unlawful or unethical practices of any kind.
2) The names of Company representatives who lied to you and what these lies were.
3) Any emails with customer support or customer service ticket numbers we can use to trace your inquiries back to the appropriate members of our customer support team—they should not take days or weeks to answer simple questions.
4) Please elaborate on what you mean by “they claim they will reimburse your orders until later they claim they will not.” ClearSale does not offer this option. Our customers are either able to recover a portion (ClearSale Total Protection) of any losses or the entirety (ClearSale Total Guaranteed Protection) of any losses. There is no option available where customers do not recover anything if confirmed a fraud-related chargeback.
5) Specify which transactions ClearSale approved that were “obvious fraud.” We have worked hard over many years to create a successful fraud-prevention model to help our customers avoid the pitfalls associated with e-commerce, most notably online fraud. So, if you have discovered a vulnerability in our model where obvious fraud has gone unrecognized, please share this with us so we can improve.
I hope we are able to connect.
Best,
ClearSale Team
