Handling chargebacks

Learn what a chargeback is, which payment methods support chargebacks, and how to dispute a chargeback.

In some cases, a guest may request a refund for a completed payment through their bank or payment provider. This process is known as a chargeback.

When a chargeback is approved by the guest's bank or payment provider, the payment amount is automatically refunded. As a business owner, your prior approval is not required for this process.

In this article, you'll learn which payment methods support chargebacks and how to dispute a chargeback if you disagree with the refund request.

Disputing a chargeback

Do you disagree with a chargeback? In some cases, you can submit a dispute.

A dispute must be submitted within 2 days of receiving the chargeback notification. After this period, the request will generally no longer be processed.

Collect supporting evidence:

To increase the chances of a successful dispute, gather as much relevant documentation as possible, such as:

  • Reservation confirmations

  • Email correspondence with the guest

  • Proof of services provided

  • Terms and conditions or cancellation policies

  • Check-in and check-out records

The more complete your documentation, the better the dispute can be assessed.
