How to Handle a Payment Dispute

Provides best practices and procedures for responding to chargebacks or disputed payments filed with financial institutions.

Before You Begin

  • Log into your payment gateway portal where dispute notices are officially filed.
  • Gather relevant order fulfillment records, tracking numbers, and delivery confirmation proof.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Review the Dispute Notice

Read the claim details in your payment provider portal to identify the dispute reason, such as unrecognized charge or item not received.

Step 2: Locate Order and Delivery Records

Retrieve the order in your Shopiators Admin Panel and gather carrier tracking records showing proof of delivery to the buyer address.

Step 3: Submit Evidence to Payment Gateway

Upload proof of shipment, tracking details, customer communication logs, and store policy links through your gateway dispute interface.

Step 4: Monitor Resolution Status

Check gateway updates as the card network or bank evaluates the submitted documentation.

What You Should See

  • Thorough evidence submitted within required deadlines to maximize dispute resolution chances.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

Problem: Carrier Tracking Shows Delivered but Customer Claims Non-Receipt

Solution: Provide official carrier delivery confirmation documents and recipient address verification in your gateway response.
