disputeType

Category of an inquiry or disagreement related to a payment transaction on a consumer payment account.

  • FIRST_CHARGEBACK - This is the initial stage where the consumer disputes a transaction. The consumer contacts their bank or credit card issuer to report an issue, such as fraud, a billing error, or a product/service problem.
  • RETRIEVAL_REQUEST - A retrieval request, also known as a "soft chargeback" or "request for information," is a preliminary step in the dispute process where the consumer's bank requests additional information about a transaction from you. This request is typically initiated when a consumer questions a transaction on their statement but has not yet formally disputed the charge.
  • PRE_ARBITRATION - Pre-arbitration occurs after you challenge a chargeback and the issuer disagrees with the representment. Each pre-arbitration exists as a separate dispute record with a reference to the related chargeback.
responseDueDate Due date for challenging the dispute, in YYYY-MM-DD format. For pre-arbitration, refer to the pre-arbitration response due date.
