Dynamic Statement Descriptors

Statement descriptors explain charges or payments on your customers bank statements. Using clear and accurate statement descriptors can reduce chargebacks and disputes.

If you want your customers bank statements to reflect your invoice number or the name of the product purchased, you can use merge tags to push this information to their bank statements.

You need to enable dynamic descriptors with NMI before you can configure them in ChargeOver. Contact NMI and ask them to enable dynamic descriptor support first!

In ChargeOver, set the dynamic descriptor format:
