Disputes + chargebacks

When someone disputes a payment made with a SorenPay card, the card network and our card issuing partner run the dispute. SorenPay passes information between you and them.

Handled by support for now

There's no dispute API, dispute webhook or dispute page in the dashboard yet. Disputes are handled by email with support@sorenpay.com. Cards run with test money today, so no real dispute can happen yet.

If a payment looks wrong

  1. Freeze the card so nothing else is charged: PATCH /api/cards/{id} with {"state": "frozen"}, or freeze it in the dashboard.
  2. Email support@sorenpay.com with the card's last 4 digits, the date, amount and merchant, and why it's wrong.
  3. Keep your evidence (receipts, order confirmations, emails with the merchant). Card network deadlines are strict, so send it as soon as we ask.
