FAQ 

How are chargebacks handled with Paystack?

Here is what Paystack says about accepting and declining chargebacks. 

Accepting a chargeback means you received the payment but didn't deliver the product or service. This can happen due to technical issues or human error. When you accept a chargeback, the funds are taken from your payouts and returned to the customer's bank account. Paystack doesn't charge a penalty for accepting a chargeback, but the full transaction amount is refunded to the customer.

Declining a chargeback means you received the customer's payment and delivered the product or service. To support your claim, you need to provide evidence like a receipt or invoice. If the evidence is insufficient, the chargeback will be automatically accepted.

Why are my students unable to pay? 

Make sure that Paystack is selected as an active payment method in your course settings and that there are no restrictions on your Paystack account.
