Customer Communication as Evidence

Written by Avia Chen

Customer communication is powerful dispute evidence. It shows the bank that you engaged with your customer in good faith β€” and can make a significant difference in winning a chargeback.

What counts as customer communication?

  • Email exchanges with the customer (confirmation, delivery, support)

  • Chat or messaging conversations

  • Screenshots showing the customer received, used, or was satisfied with their order

  • Phone call transcripts

Tip: Many customers dispute charges without reaching out first. If a chargeback comes in with no prior contact, reach out to the customer right away β€” their response could strengthen your case.


Uploading Files Manually

If you're adding files manually, keep these requirements in mind:

  • Formats: PDF, JPEG, JPG, or PNG

  • Max file size: 1MB per file

  • Max files: Up to 5

πŸ“Note: Automatic Email & Support Integration Chargeflow integrates with Gmail, Gorgias, and Zendesk to automatically pull relevant text-based customer conversations into dispute evidence. No manual digging required. Learn how to connect them here.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: When uploading image-based evidence, make sure the file is clear and easy to read. Crop out any unnecessary areas so the relevant information is front and center β€” blurry or cluttered images may be harder for reviewers to interpret and could weaken your case.
