# Simulating Cardholder Disputes

You can simulate cardholder disputes in the sandbox.

Create a payment using a specific, reserved card number. Set `payment_method_options.3d_required` to **false**. See [Create Payment](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/create-payment.md "Create Payment").

The following asynchronous webhooks provide information about the `dispute` object:

- [Dispute Created Webhook](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/dispute-created-webhook.md "Dispute Created Webhook")
- [Dispute Updated Webhook](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/dispute-updated-webhook.md "Dispute Updated Webhook")
- [Issuing Dispute Created Webhook](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/issuing-dispute-created-webhook.md "Issuing Dispute Created Webhook")
- [Issuing Dispute Updated Webhook](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/issuing-dispute-updated-webhook.md "Issuing Dispute Updated Webhook")

### Reserved Card Numbers

To simulate a specific type of dispute, use one of the following card numbers in the `payment_method` object of the Create Payment request:

| Card Number | Type of Cardholder Dispute |
| --- | --- |
| 4539922288211219 | Goods or services not provided. |
| 4556028624137080 | Subscription canceled. |
| 4556942399248726 | Counterfeit merchandise. |
| 5374500863109043 | Credit not processed. |
| 5132803130357186 | Cardholder dispute - miscellaneous. |
