Dispute Resolution Phases in Transaction Dispute Management
- Dispute Intake and Deflection
- Service representatives select transactions to dispute from the customer's record. Transaction enrichment shows merchant details to help customers recognize charges immediately. If the customer recognizes the purchase, service representatives deflect the dispute. For the remaining transactions, eligibility rules determine if the transaction qualifies for a dispute or an automatic write-off.
- Dispute Assessment
- Service representatives categorize eligible disputes by selecting a reason code and subcode. This selection triggers a dynamic assessment that shows only the specific questions required by the payment network. This targeted approach captures the exact evidence needed for the dispute.
- Dispute Processing and Resolution
- The dispute case owners submit eligible disputes to the payment network for processing. Track the dispute through complex stages, such as chargeback, representment, pre-arbitration, and arbitration. As the dispute moves through these stages, integrations with payment networks automatically update the status of dispute-related records in Salesforce.
