Merchant disputes

Reconcile a refund during a dispute

Check the current payment and case state before promising or issuing another credit.

Check the case

  • Find the original payment and disputed amount.
  • Check any refund reference and status.
  • Read the actions available in the open dispute.
  • Ask the processor about an unclear or duplicate credit.

A refund promise, a submitted refund and a resolved dispute are separate events. Confirm the permitted resolution through the processor.

Prepare the source record

Use the evidence checklist and submission workflow. For writing, see the response guide.
