How to go from dispute to resolution

If a customer raises an issue

You’ve got 20 days to try to resolve things with your customer.

Note: Your funds may be temporarily unavailable during a dispute. We’ll hold onto them for you while you try to work things out.

If you can’t work it out

Either you or your customer can turn the dispute into a claim and submit related info or supporting documentation. That’s where we come in to help.

We’ll make the decision

We’ll review the information you and your customer provided in the claim to make the final call.

Don’t agree? You can always appeal

If the claim is decided in favor of the customer, you can file an appeal to revisit the decision.

What is the dispute resolution process?

If you get a dispute, don’t worry. It’s part of doing business. And it’s our business to help you resolve it.

Be the first to know

Our notifications and emails will alert you when there’s something that needs your attention. We can even let you know about a questionable transaction that is likely to result in a chargeback—giving you an opportunity to respond and avoid the chargeback fees.

Stay on top of your activity

Easily find a case and any status info you need by using the search function and filters in the Resolution Center. You can also spot trends and track case progress.

Connect with your customers

One of the simplest ways to resolve a dispute with your customers is to communicate with them. Conversations between you and your customers are easy, secure, and hassle-free in our Resolution Center.
