Can I Appeal a Lost Dispute?
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:

Yes, ChargePay manages the entire dispute process—including inquiries.
Inquiries (also called retrievals) often occur when a customer:
Does not recognize a charge
Is unhappy with the product or service
Claims they didn’t receive the item
While these inquiries may seem less serious than chargebacks, they can easily escalate into full chargebacks if not handled properly and promptly. This creates additional workload and can negatively impact your chargeback ratio.
What ChargePSome readersWhat does Intentional Fraud mean?
Intentional fraud refers to situations where a credit card is used without the knowledge or permission of the cardholder, typically because the card has been lost or stolen. The individual using the card intends to fraudulently obtain goods, services, or funds.
What Happens in a Case of Intentional Fraud?
A fraudster makes a purchase using someone else's credit card.
The actual cardholder later reviews their statement and notices an unauthorized charge.

In most cases, NO — once a dispute response has been submitted, additional evidence cannot be added.
However, there is one exception:
Exception: Shopify Payments Chargebacks
If your dispute is being processed through Shopify Payments, you may still add more evidence as long as the submission deadline has not yet passed.
What You Need to Know:
The ability to add evidence is time-sensitive and dependent on the remaining time before Shopify’s deadline.

Absolutely. ChargePay manages the entire lifecycle of disputes, using AI and machine learning to handle every stage—from inquiry to chargeback, and even second appeals in supported cases.
Let’s Break It Down:
1. Inquiries
An inquiry means the cardholder’s bank has not yet reversed the funds or issued a chargeback. Instead, it initiates a request for information. This gives merchants a chance to avoid fees and preserve revenue by responding with clear, compelling eviFew readersWhy 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).
