Evidence map

Stripe dispute evidence map.

The response should answer the dispute category first, then support that answer with proof Stripe can pass to the card issuer.

Stripe routes disputes through the Dashboard or API and asks for evidence based on the dispute category and the answers you choose in the response flow. Start with the category and deadline, then collect only evidence that helps answer the cardholder's claim.

01

Dispute snapshot

Dispute ID, payment amount, evidence deadline, Stripe category, and response status.

03

Fulfillment proof

Tracking, delivery, access logs, product usage, or service completion matched to Stripe's fields.

Support messages, refund status, cancellation history, policy language, and withdrawal notes.

05

Review timeline

Payment, fulfillment, customer contact, dispute notice, and final evidence deadline in order.

Stripe context

Prepare for Stripe's response workflow, not a generic evidence dump.

Stripe can recommend relevant evidence fields and compile what you submit into a format for the issuing bank, but you still need to choose whether to accept or counter, review every fact, and submit before the deadline shown in the Dashboard.

Dynamic evidence form

Stripe changes the fields based on the dispute category and your response answers.

One file per type

Group same-type proof into one file instead of scattering several uploads across the form.

Final submission

After submission, Stripe says the response is final, so missing evidence cannot be added later.

No external links

Banks reviewing disputes generally will not click links, call, email, or watch external media.

Packet contents

What goes into the Stripe evidence packet.

The output is a review packet for the merchant. It does not connect to Stripe, pull dashboard data, or submit anything on your behalf.

Case summary

A short factual account mapped to the Stripe dispute category and payment record.

Evidence checklist

What to attach, redact, combine, remove, or still collect for Stripe's evidence fields.

Response draft

Draft wording that addresses the category-specific claim without overclaiming.

Missing evidence warning

Weak, conflicting, oversized, link-only, or absent proof before the Dashboard deadline.

Process

How it works.

Step 1

Redacted basics

Send the Stripe category, dispute ID if available, deadline, payment value, and evidence you already have.

Step 2

Packet prepared

We organize the supplied facts into a summary, checklist, file notes, and draft response.

Step 3

Merchant reviews and submits

You verify every fact and submit the final response in the Stripe Dashboard yourself.

Redaction first

What not to send.

Send only safe facts

  • Stripe dispute category, payment amount, deadline, and non-sensitive order reference
  • Delivery, usage, support, refund, policy, authentication, or subscription notes
  • A short timeline, file list, and any evidence gaps you already know

Do not send

  • Stripe passwords, login links, API keys, webhook secrets, or dashboard access
  • Full card numbers, bank details, tax IDs, or government ID images
  • Unredacted sensitive personal information or link-only proof

Questions

FAQ

Do you log in to my Stripe account?

No. This is a manual packet service. You do not share Stripe credentials, API keys, webhook secrets, or dashboard access.

Do you submit for me?

No. You review the packet and submit through the Stripe Dashboard yourself before the evidence deadline.

Can you use Stripe dispute categories?

Yes. The packet can be organized around categories such as fraudulent, duplicate, product not received, product unacceptable, credit not processed, subscription canceled, general, or unrecognized.

What about Visa CE 3.0 or liability shift?

If Stripe shows CE 3.0 eligibility or liability-shift context, we can help you keep those facts visible in the packet. We do not alter Stripe's prefilled eligibility fields or claim a guaranteed outcome.

Can I send tracking links or videos?

Do not rely on external links, audio, or video. Summarize the fact and include reviewable screenshots or documents that fit Stripe's evidence upload requirements.

Is there a win guarantee?

No. The packet can improve organization and clarity, but the cardholder's bank decides the outcome, not Stripe or this service.

Can this help with Shopify too?

Yes. The evidence structure is similar, but Shopify merchants can use the Shopify-specific page.
