Ce que couvre le MCC 5732
Le Merchant Category Code 5732 est l'identifiant ISO 18245 utilisé par les réseaux de cartes pour magasins d'électronique. Les acquéreurs, les émetteurs et les régulateurs utilisent ce code pour définir l'interchange, les frais de réseau, les règles de fraude et les catégories de reporting pour chaque transaction traitée par votre entreprise.
Détaillants d'électronique grand public. Choisir le bon MCC est essentiel : un code incorrect peut entraîner des commissions d'interchange plus élevées, des surprimes ou, dans les catégories réglementées, des transactions refusées et des blocages de compte.
MCC 5732 covers merchants primarily engaged in selling consumer electronics such as televisions, audio equipment, and cameras. These include both physical stores and e-commerce operations.
Ticket sizes vary significantly, from small accessories to high-value items, with purchase frequency often influenced by product lifecycles and technological advancements.
Chargebacks can arise from 'merchandise not received' or 'not as described' claims, particularly for online sales where product representation or delivery issues occur. High-value transactions may also attract 'fraud' chargebacks.
Scheme programmes like Visa's Integrity Risk Program (VIRP) or Mastercard's Excessive Chargeback Program (ECP) may monitor merchants with sustained high chargeback rates, which can impact processing costs.
Cardflo's chargeback management tooling, including its pre-dispute resolution capabilities, helps merchants in this sector by facilitating communication with cardholders and mitigating disputes before they escalate to formal chargebacks, thereby protecting processing relationships and reducing scheme penalties.
Acquirer & underwriting stance
Low-risk standard board for established merchants. New or high-volume online merchants might require additional monitoring and potentially a slightly higher reserve due to increased fraud potential.
Clear and compliant refund/return policies are expected.

Questions fréquentes
How do scheme rules on 'merchandise not received' apply to electronics purchased online with a long delivery window?
For 'merchandise not received' (Reason Code 13. 1 for Visa, 4855 for Mastercard), the liability typically rests with the merchant to prove delivery.
For items with long delivery windows, merchants should use tracked shipping and communicate estimated delivery times clearly.
If goods are not received within the expected timeframe, cardholders have a dispute window, usually 120 days from the transaction date or expected delivery date, to file a claim. Merchants should provide compelling evidence of delivery to counter these disputes.
Are there specific requirements for high-value electronics transactions to qualify for liability shifts?
For high-value transactions, utilising 3D Secure (3DS) can shift liability for 'fraud' chargebacks (Visa Reason Code 10. 4, Mastercard 4837) from the merchant to the issuer, provided strong customer authentication (SCA) was successfully applied.
However, 3DS does not shift liability for non-fraud reasons like 'merchandise not received' or 'not as described'. Merchants should also adhere to address verification (AVS) and CVV checks as part of their fraud prevention strategy.
What impact does selling refurbished electronics have on chargeback rates and scheme compliance?
Selling refurbished electronics transparently can be permissible. However, it can increase chargeback risk under 'not as described' (Visa 13.
3, Mastercard 4853) if the condition is misrepresented or performance expectations are not met. Merchants must clearly state that items are refurbished, detail their condition, and offer robust warranty policies.
High rates of these dispute types could lead to scheme monitoring programmes if not managed effectively.
