today i’ve approached by a client asking me to do major revamp on website and offering good money.
However, the payment method he offering is via credit card – paypal, only method available to him.
So, my question now is, what should i do to protect myself from paypal chargeback?
Is there any protection i can add to my php codes to protect me from this kind of event incase it occured?
Thank you
The fact that you’re thinking of putting something into the code is absurd. Putting something in the code will do nothing in the end. If you’re smart, you will get all of his contact information and verify it before working with him and log any and all conversations. Then if he attempts a chargeback, you can take legal action against him to retrieve the funds.
