Disputes

After the customer initiates a dispute, Stripe notifies you using:
- The Stripe Dashboard
- An API
charge.
event (if your integration is set up to receive webhooks)dispute. created
Stripe holds back the disputed amount from your balance until Billie resolves the dispute.
We request that you upload compelling evidence proving that you fulfilled the purchase order using the Stripe Dashboard. This evidence can include the:
- Tracking ID
- Shipping date
- Record of purchase for intangible goods, such as IP address or email receipt
- Record of purchase for services or physical goods, such as phone number or proof of receipt
- Record of refund (for purchase you’ve already refunded)
To handle disputes programmatically, respond to disputes using the API.
This information helps Billie determine if a dispute is valid. Make sure the evidence you provide contains as much detail as possible from what the customer provided at checkout. You must submit the requested information within 12 calendar days. If Billie resolves the dispute with you winning, we return the disputed amount to your Stripe balance. If Billie rules in favor of the customer, the balance charge becomes permanent.
Refunds
Billie supports full and partial refunds. The refund period is up to 180 days after the purchase. Refunds for Billie payments are asynchronous and take up to 5 minutes to complete. Stripe notifies you of the final refund status using the refund.
