Card Disputes

Card disputes and how to respond to them.

Customers can dispute a card payment for a variety of reasons. However, if they completed 3DS authentication during the card payment process, they cannot dispute a payment on the basis of fraud.

After a customer files a card dispute with their card issuer, Rapyd does the following:

  • Deducts the disputed amount from the client's wallet.

  • Notifies the client of the dispute.

  • Enables the client to submit evidence to the card issuer via the Client Portal.

  • Monitors and updates the dispute through its lifecycle:

    • Active - A payment dispute was received from the card issuer.

    • Review - The client challenged the dispute and the dispute is pending review.

    • Pre-Arbitration - The card issuer challenged a previously contested dispute. The dispute is under review.

    • Arbitration - The client rejected a pre-arbitration outcome. The dispute is pending an arbitration ruling by the card schemes.

    • Win - The client's dispute was successful.

    • Lose - The client accepted the dispute or the challenge failed.

    • Reverse - The card issuer dropped the dispute.

When a new dispute is initiated, the client can:

  • Accept the dispute's validity.

  • Challenge the dispute. The client has a limited number of days to challenge a dispute with supporting evidence. In the Client Portal, browse to Collect > Review & Protect > Disputes and see Due date.
