Quick start

Disputes (also known as chargebacks) occur when a cardholder wants to query a transaction on their card statement. The card schemes (Visa, MasterCard & JCB) provide a dispute process that allows transactions to be 'disputed' in cases of fraud, incorrect processing or unknown transactions.

The Disputes API is designed to make the complex disputes process flow easier for the consumer to understand the required responses expected by the card schemes.
