How to use the Disputes Summary Table
Your Summary View
Your summary view is the first page you will see when you arrive at your Disputes section of the Merchant website. This page provides a consolidated overview of all your Inquiries1 and Chargebacks2.
The Disputes that need the most attention and require a response are displayed by default, sorted by expiration date. The case number, Dispute amount, reason for the Dispute, and type of Dispute (Chargeback, Inquiry, Case Update, or Dispute Alert*), as well as the expiration date, are displayed in the summary table. Case numbers are clickable and will allow you to view the specific details of that case and take any actions required to move the case toward closing.
*The Dispute Alert type is only available for Merchants enrolled in Accelerated Dispute Resolution.
If you need to view additional columns in your table:
- Click the gear icon at the top left of your table to get to your Column Customization settings
- Once in the settings, you may drag and drop the column fields in any order
- If you require more than six columns in your table, click the “Need more columns” link that will appear once you add your sixth column
- Click “Apply” to save your settings
Please note, your column settings will be applied per table view, so you are able to customize your Response Needed, Review in Progress, and Closed tables individually.
You also have the option to use the Bulk Response feature to respond to multiple Disputes at once. To do so:
- Click the gear icon in the Response Needed tab and navigate to “Bulk Response”
- Click the checkbox to turn on checkboxes in your table
- Select up to 100 Disputes to respond to in a single response submission
Note: If you select both Inquiries and Chargebacks for your Bulk Response, we will automatically separate your response into two responses due to Inquiries and Chargebacks having different response requirements.
You can filter your Disputes in a few different ways.

- Closed - this table displays an archive of closed cases
