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.
