Winning 99.9% of Stripe Disputes
A documentation framework for agencies and SaaS to win Stripe chargebacks
This framework outlines a preparation and submission strategy to counter Stripe disputes and chargebacks. It focuses on airtight contract deliverables, explicit billing policies, and structured evidence packages drafted using AI.
The framework
Core claim: only works if you actually deliver what you promised (10,000+ transactions, under 0.05% dispute rate; won't help if committing fraud). Contract = deliverable. The four pillars:
1) MSA / SOW — SOW must have a crystal-clear section stating exactly what the customer is purchasing; that is what you MUST deliver or they can chargeback and win. Be specific; vague language kills you in disputes.
2) BILLING POLICY — Explain how customers are billed, payment terms, refund policy, credit policy, and dispute policy. Explicitly stating that customers cannot dispute in your billing policy makes Stripe side with you ~9 out of 10 times.
3) TERMS & CONDITIONS — A proper public T&C page on your website; reiterates MSA/SOW billing and delivery terms; adds major credibility.
4) SUBMITTING PROOF — Compile all documentation (contracts, communications, call recordings) into ChatGPT and have it write the dispute letter (he has an SOP for the exact prompt).
What to submit:
- The dispute letter (ChatGPT-written)
- Signed MSA/SOW
- Screenshots of billing policy page
- Screenshots of T&C page
- Email communications showing client satisfaction
Closing: if you didn't deliver, customers have every right to chargeback; if you delivered what was signed off on, you deserve to get paid.
