Merchant disputes

Write a merchant dispute response

Answer the cardholder’s actual claim in the first paragraph. Use the transaction record to explain what happened, and identify the document supporting each important statement.

Build the response

  • Identify the payment, order and disputed amount.
  • State the complaint without adding motives or accusations.
  • Explain the relevant events in date order.
  • Connect each response to the supporting record.
  • Describe any refund, cancellation or replacement accurately.

A draft structure

The customer disputes [payment] because [claim]. Our records show [relevant facts]. [Document name] records [specific event and date]. We [describe any refund or resolution]. The attached evidence supports [the part of the claim being challenged].

Replace every bracket with a supported fact. If a required fact is missing, leave it as a question for your team rather than completing it from an AI suggestion.

Review the draft

Ask Pingpong to compare the claim, draft and evidence descriptions. Request a list of unsupported statements and contradictions. Check those findings against the original records. AI review cannot establish that a transaction was authorized or a parcel was delivered.

Prepare the submission

Use the evidence checklist and the processor’s instructions. If you need a PDF, format the approved text. The exporter prints the supplied narrative and index; upload the actual supporting records separately.
