Merchant disputes

Respond to a duplicate-payment dispute

Reconcile each payment with a separate order or obligation before claiming the charges are distinct.

Records to compare

  • Transaction references and amounts
  • Order or invoice attached to each charge
  • Payment status, including holds and reversals
  • Any refund already issued

Check the conclusion

Similar amounts or timestamps can conceal either two legitimate purchases or a duplicate. Identify the actual item or service paid for by each completed transaction.

Prepare the response

Use the response guide to connect each statement to a record. Check the evidence and follow the deadline and submission requirements in the actual dispute.
