Dispute Report Builder

Five minutes, and the bank gets a proper answer

Keep three things open while you work: the dispute in Stripe, the booking, and Postmark. Everything below comes from one of those. First time? Hit Show me an example to see a finished one.

From Stripe

The dispute itself

Open the dispute in Stripe. The long IDs are easiest to paste rather than retype.

Worth a second look. Wallet payments usually show 3D Secure as “Not supported” with no CVC result — the fingerprint or face unlock does that job instead. Check Stripe again. If it really does say Authenticated and Passed, great, carry on.
Check this number twice. It has to match the invoice and the confirmation email you're about to attach. If one of them shows a different total, the bank will find it.
Stripe and the booking

Who paid, and who was going

Often two different people — a parent paying for a child, a friend booking for a friend. Perfectly normal, we just need both.

Two different emails — and that's fine. It usually means someone paid on behalf of the traveller. The report explains that properly rather than pretending they match. If you know how they're related, add it above; it makes the case stronger.
From the booking

What they booked

All of this is on the booking record. The ticket email has it too if you'd rather look there.

From Postmark

The day of the booking, minute by minute

This is the part that wins the case. Open Postmark, search the customer's email address, and read the times straight off the log.

Postmark shows both at the top of the recipient's page. They're nearly always zero — but do check, because the report states it in writing.

From the support inbox

Did they ever come to us first?

Leave both untouched if they went straight to their bank without a word. That silence is one of the strongest things we have.

Your files

Attach the proof

Drop a file on each row, or click to browse. Each one slides into the report behind a cover page that's already written. Missing one? Build it anyway — you'll get the cover page and can add the document later.

Something unusual about this one?

Almost never needed. Skip it unless this case really doesn't fit the usual pattern.
