Slovenia and Chargeback/Fraud Risk
hey y'all,
I have a question about the country of Slovenia and credit card fraud/chargeback (cb) risk
On my sites I target english-speaking nations so I've never encountered this issue before:
I've been contacted by a peer who would like to join my site. She's Slovenian which isn't an issue at all, however she apparently has quite a few Slovenian clients that she'd like to bring to the site.
Thus far I've blocked all nations that are considered highest risk (with the exception of Malaysia cuz I have quite a few long time regs from there) and now I'm considering unblocking Slovenia so that my peer can join my site along with her clients.
My concern is obviously fraud/cb risk- I've never had a cb as a merchant and I'd like to keep it that way so I'm hoping to hear from some of y'all who have experience with this. I'm not so concerned about her current clients (she has a track record with them) but rather any new visitors from Slovenia that find the site and make payments
I've done some reading today and seem to be finding to entirely opposite perspectives: the first that Slovenia is uber-high risk, the second that 'high risk' nations lists should be taken with a grain of salt cuz the US considers everything outside of North America 'high risk'
Does anyone here process credit card transactions originating from Slovenia, and if so did you notice a rise in fraud/cb's when doing so?
thanks in advance for any info/advice anyone has to provide
