Question 2

Why does ChargePay need Collaborator Access to Shopify?

Accepted Answer

What is Collaborator Access?

Collaborator access allows trusted Shopify Partners like ChargePay to securely access your Shopify admin with limited permissions—only what’s needed to support you effectively. This access does not count toward your staff limit and can be removed at any time.

Why do we request it?

While ChargePay connects to your store through Shopify’s API, some essential data needed to automate chargeback handling isn’t available via API. Collaborator access helps us fill that gap—without requiring you to take action for every dispute.

We always request the minimum permissions needed to:

Automate dispute responses
Analyze potential fraud
Deliver smooth, hands-off support

What permissions do we usually request?

Orders Lets us review order metadata like fraud analysis, customer communication, and shipping activity—essential for building strong dispute responses.

Shopify Payments Payouts Helps us track and investigate transactions and chargebacks processed through Shopify Payments.

Customers Allows us to identify patterns of fraud, connect fake accounts, and protect your store from repeat offenders.

Manage and Install Apps and Channels Enables us to troubleshoot or reproduce any app-related issues that may affect your experience.

For more details, you can read Shopify’s article on collaboratoor permissions.

Question 3

Can I Appeal a Lost Dispute?

Accepted Answer

While your concern is understandable, in most cases, the card issuer's decision is final and cannot be appealed.

This is why it is important to present a very strong case in the original submission - this is why ChargePay has such high win-rates.

Why There Is No Appeal

The dispute process includes a single opportunity to submit compelling evidence—that submission is the appeal. Once the card issuer has reviewed and decided, the outcome is binding:

If you lose, you cannot challenge the decision again.
If you win, the cardholder cannot appeal either.

What About Arbitration?

Some networks, like Visa and Mastercard, offer a final phase called arbitration, but we do not recommend this route for ChargePay clients:

High Costs: Arbitration often starts at $100, with additional fees of $500 or more if you lose.
Very Low Success Rates: Businesses rarely win at this stage.
Complex Legal Process: It’s not a streamlined business tool—it resembles a legal proceeding and is not designed for practical resolution.

Important Clarification

Dispute resolution through card networks is not a court of law. While networks establish the rules for how their systems work, they are not judicial systems.

If you believe a dispute was wrongfully lost and both you and the customer are in the same legal jurisdiction, you may consider exploring a small claims court or civil legal route as a last resort.

Question 4

Why is my processor deactivated?

Accepted Answer

At ChargePay, we aim to automate your dispute handling with zero friction. However, in specific cases, a connected payment processor may be deactivated from your account. Here’s why that might happen—and what you can do about it.

Deactivation Reasons

1. You requested it

If you’ve contacted our support team and asked to stop automating disputes for a specific payment processor, we’ll deactivate it as requested.

What this means:

ChargePay will stop managing disputes for that processor.
You are responsible for handling future disputes manually.
You can reactivate the processor anytime from your Integrations page.

2. Billing issue with your subscription

If your ChargePay subscription is paused or payment fails, we may temporarily deactivate your processors as part of service suspension.

What this means:

Dispute automation is paused for all connected processors.
Once your subscription is active again, your automation resumes automatically.

Want to reactivate?

Log in and visit your Integrations page, or contact our support team—we’ll help you get reconnected quickly.

Question 6

Tracking Information as Evidence

Accepted Answer

Tracking Information is considered the most crucial compelling evidence in some cases (Especially when the customer claims that the order didn't receive). Our experience and data analysis show that disputed transactions that include tracking information are more likely to be closed in the merchant's favor.

In this block, you might include the following:

Physical Goods:
Tracking number.
Shipping Label.
Proof of delivery - Customer signature on the pickup form, an image of the delivered package by the carrier, etc.
Digital Goods:
Usage log of the customer.
Documentation that relates to customer usage.

You can upload up to five files that meet the following requirements:

The supported file formats are PDF, JPEG, JPG, and PNG.
File sizes should not exceed 1MB.

In addition, you can insert a tracking number, and our system will automatically monitor the status of the shipment.
