Why Did I Lose a Dispute?

The outcome of a chargeback or payment dispute is determined solely by the payment provider — not by ChargePay.


Who Makes the Decision?


  • Credit and Debit Cards: The decision is made by the card issuer (e.g., Chase, Bank of America), following the guidelines established by the card network (e.g., Visa, Mastercard, American Express).
  • Digital Wallets & Alternative Payments: For platforms like PayPal, Klarna, Afterpay, etc., the provider uses their internal review systems and policies to reach a verdict.


Why the Outcome May Vary


Each provider has:


  • Different review processes
  • Unique evidence requirements
  • Their own biases or automation levels


Even when the same evidence is submitted, outcomes can differ based on who’s reviewing the case.


ChargePay's Role


At ChargePay, we:


  • Prepare and submit compelling evidence on your behalf
  • Automate evidence gathering across integrations
  • Optimize every response to fit the specific provider’s criteria
  • Continuously learn from every dispute outcome—especially losses—so our AI agents improve future submissions across all accounts


Our AI system, ResolveAI, works in tandem with WinPredict, a predictive engine that estimates your chances of winning a dispute before submission. This powerful duo gives you insight and confidence, while ensuring every dispute is addressed with the best possible data-driven strategy.


While we maximize your chances of winning, we do not make or influence the final decision.
