This section covers disputes submitted through Adyen.

❗️ IMPORTANT ❗️

For other payment service providers, submit disputes and supporting evidence through the provider's dashboard.

For actionable Adyen disputes, you can respond directly from the dispute's detail view.

Accept or Defend a Dispute

📒 NOTE

Not every dispute needs a response. Some disputes are automatically defended by Adyen, and no further action is required from you. See Adyen's documentation for more information.

  • Accept Dispute - press when the chargeback is valid, for example, when the you agrees with the customer's claim or the transaction is known fraud

  • Defend Dispute - press to defend the chargeback. Before defending the dispute,

  1. Select the defense reason.

  2. Upload supporting evidence as PDF or image files.

  3. Press the Update Dispute button.

    At this stage, nothing is sent and you can keep updating the details as needed.

  4. When you are ready, press the Defend Dispute button to send the supporting evidence to Adyen as part of the defense submission.

📒 NOTE

After you submit a defense, the dispute status updates immediately to Submitted. It then progresses automatically through Adyen's own statuses — Pending, and finally Won or Lost — as the case is resolved.
