What is Chargeflow?
Chargeflow is an AI-powered chargeback management platform that automates dispute responses for Shopify merchants. It submits evidence, tracks dispute status, and claims to achieve a 75%+ win rate. Pricing is success-based at 25% of recovered chargebacks with no monthly fee. It has a 4.8 rating on the Shopify App Store across 200+ reviews.
Where Chargeflow Falls Short
Chargeback Recovery, Not Revenue Growth
Chargeflow fights disputes after they happen. It does not create bundle flows, tiered discounts, or offer stacks that grow the top line. Recovery and growth are different financial levers.
No Bundle Builder or Cart-Level Incentives
Chargeflow automates dispute evidence submission. It cannot build mix-and-match bundles, progressive discounts, or combined discount + shipping + gift rewards that drive AOV upward.
25% Success Fee on Recovered Revenue
Chargeflow takes 25% of every chargeback won. On a $100 dispute, you recover $75. Tiergain is flat-rate at $50/month and every dollar of AOV lift is yours to keep.
Revenue Ceiling Is Your Dispute Volume
Chargeflow can only recover chargebacks you already received. If disputes drop (which is the goal), Chargeflow delivers less value. Tiergain bundle revenue compounds with traffic growth - there is no ceiling.
Reactive Tool in a Proactive Stack
Chargeflow responds to problems after the sale. Tiergain builds better offers before the sale. Both reduce revenue leakage, but bundles with clear value stacks also reduce the confusion that causes disputes in the first place.

Why Merchants Switch to Tiergain
28% new revenue vs recovering lost revenue
Tiergain creates 28% AOV lift through bundle architecture - new money that did not exist before. Chargeflow recovers disputed charges minus a 25% fee. Growth beats recovery on every financial model.
$50/month flat vs 25% of every recovery
Tiergain Pro costs $50/month and every dollar of AOV lift is yours. Chargeflow takes 25% of each recovered chargeback. On $2,000/month in recoveries, that is $500 to Chargeflow. Tiergain generates multiples of that in new revenue for a fraction of the cost.
Bundles reduce disputes by adding clarity
Clear bundle offers with visible tier pricing reduce buyer confusion that causes chargebacks. Customers who understand what they bought and why they paid that price dispute less. Tiergain prevents some of the problems Chargeflow has to fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Tiergain and Chargeflow together?
Yes. Tiergain handles bundle offers and AOV growth on the storefront. Chargeflow handles chargeback disputes on the backend. They solve different problems and work independently.
Does Chargeflow lift AOV like Tiergain?
No. Chargeflow is a chargeback management tool. It recovers disputed revenue but does not change what customers buy. Tiergain directly lifts AOV through bundle architecture, tiered pricing, and combined rewards.
Is Tiergain cheaper than Chargeflow?
Tiergain starts free with Pro at $50/month flat. Chargeflow is free to start but takes 25% of recovered chargebacks. If you recover $2,000/month in disputes, Chargeflow costs $500. Tiergain's flat rate is more predictable.
How long does it take to set up Tiergain?
Under 10 minutes. Install from the Shopify App Store, add the widget to your theme, and build your first bundle. No code, no developer, no dispute history needed.
Do bundles reduce chargebacks?
They can. Clear bundle pricing with visible tiers reduces buyer confusion. When customers understand exactly what they bought and why, they dispute less. Tiergain bundles add transparency to the offer structure.
