There exists a possibility of fraud when accepting card payments and this is more prevalent with card not present transactions (transactions where the cardholder is not at your business with their card) as you cannot verify that the person using the card is the owner of the card.
Unfortunately, chargebacks are part of accepting cards and they cannot be avoided completely but you can ensure that your card acceptance procedures minimise any risk to your business.
If you are suspicious of a transaction, you can perform a few additional verification steps to help verify that the person giving you the card number is indeed the cardholder. An authorisation only confirms that funds are available at the time of the transaction and that the card has not been reported lost or stolen. It does not guarantee that the person quoting the card number is the owner of the card or is entitled to use the card.
