Shopify Payments chargeback or inquiry
What a Shopify Payments chargeback or inquiry means for you
When a customer questions a charge, Shopify Payments asks you to respond with evidence. Shopify Payments shows chargebacks and inquiries on the order in your Shopify admin. Shopify submits the evidence you provide; the bank and card company make the final decision.
Your job is the part you control: presenting legitimate records, clearly. We never create, edit, or hide anything — and the outcome is always decided by the cardholder's bank, not by Shopify Payments or by us.
How it works
Responding to a Shopify Payments chargeback or inquiry, step by step
- 1
You're notified of a chargeback or inquiry
Shopify Payments shows chargebacks and inquiries on the order in your Shopify admin. Shopify submits the evidence you provide; the bank and card company make the final decision.
- 2
Note the deadline
Find the response deadline and work backward from it — a missed deadline means your records are never seen. Always follow the current steps and dates your provider shows.
- 3
Organize your genuine records
Bring your order, delivery, policy, and communication records into one clear, indexed package with a short, neutral cover summary.
- 4
Submit it yourself through Shopify Payments
Add your evidence in your Shopify admin (the disputed order) before the deadline. The cardholder's bank and the card networks make the decision — not us, and not Shopify Payments.
What to organize
Records to gather for a Shopify Payments delivery dispute
You don't need every item — bring what you genuinely have. Originals only; never edit, crop out context, or recreate a record.
- Order confirmation and itemized invoice
- Payment confirmation and transaction reference
- Full carrier tracking history, with timestamps
- Proof of delivery or the final carrier scan
- The shipping and returns policy shown at purchase
- Genuine customer messages, in date order
- The product listing as it appeared when purchased
- A numbered evidence index tying it all together
Submitting through Shopify Payments
Add your evidence in your Shopify admin (the disputed order). Attach your records, reference them in a short cover summary, and submit before your deadline. Follow the current on-screen steps — providers update them.
Mind the deadline
Response windows are time-limited and vary by card network and provider. Note your exact deadline as soon as you're notified, and submit with time to spare.
