Visa Reason Code 13.2

What is

Visa Reason Code 13.2

?

The cardholder cancelled their subscription but was charged again anyway.

Why this happens

A subscription cancellation request wasn't processed in time, or the cancellation wasn't honored before the next billing cycle.

What this means for each merchant

Subscription/recurring-billing merchants are the ones exposed here — proof the subscription was still active is the key defense.

Evidence that typicalls wins this

Account record showing no cancellation was received before the billing date, or the terms defining the cancellation cutoff.

How to fight it

Submit account activity logs showing the subscription was active (no cancellation on file) as of the billing date.

Stop fighting chargebacks alone.
