Disputes

Every dispute across every merchant in Connect - statuses, filters, the evidence PDF and its version history, and viewing a dispute as the merchant sees it.

Disputes is every dispute across all your merchants, and where each one stands right now.

Statuses

StatusMeaning
Needs responseThe clock is running and evidence has not been submitted
Under reviewSubmitted, waiting on the issuer
WonDecided in the merchant's favour
LostDecided against the merchant
AppealableLost, but a further stage is available
InsuredCovered under the merchant's arrangement regardless of outcome
PreventedDeflected before it became a chargeback

The underlying state machine, including which transitions are possible, is documented in Dispute state machine.

What you can do

  • Track volume over time, with a processing versus won breakdown and total charges.
  • Filter by status, response deadline, reason, source (Stripe, Klarna, PayPal, Afterpay, Adyen, or the Chargeflow API), card, stage, and amount.
  • See what is managed by Chargeflow versus handled elsewhere, so a dispute never falls between you and the engine.
  • Open the evidence PDF submitted for a dispute, and view its version history where the evidence was revised.
  • View as merchant to see a dispute exactly as the merchant sees it, which is what you want open when they call support.

Response deadlines

Deadlines come from the card network and the processor, not from Chargeflow, and they are the one thing that cannot be recovered once missed. Filter by response deadline when you want to know what is at risk this week. Network timelines are documented in Network timelines.
