Feature Guide · Disputes

The useful dispute record was built
before the dispute.

A chargeback response is strongest when the visit, payment, messages, and vehicle context were already recorded - and weakest when software promises an outcome it does not control.

What it is

A generated record of available session and payment evidence.

When a dispute arrives, Valletto can assemble the facts already attached to the charge and its visit into a reviewable report. The workflow reduces memory work; it cannot create facts the operation never captured.

Visa Compelling Evidence 3.0 has narrow qualification rules, and neither eligibility nor submission guarantees the final decision.

01

Who uses it

The owner needs a ready record; the issuer still decides the dispute.

Owner

Reviews what was assembled

The report organizes payment, session, vehicle, communication, and timeline material that already exists.

Payments team

Responds through the processor

Processor deadlines, eligibility, evidence fields, and submission status remain authoritative.

02

The setup order

Useful evidence is captured during the visit, before anybody knows a dispute will exist.

1 · Session

Record the car, stand, ticket, times, and actors

Normal check-in and status work creates the operational timeline.

2 · Payment

Keep the transaction and receipt context

Amount, method, processor identifiers, modifiers, and status stay linked to the session.

3 · Dispute

Assemble the record when the processor notifies Valletto

The dispute workflow collects available evidence and renders a report; absent facts remain absent.

03

The daily loop

The goal is retrieval, not recollection.

Collect

Review the visit

Your team can review the available visit details without rebuilding the night from memory.

Present

Organize summary, timeline, vehicle, and communications

The report contains private visit information and should only be shared with the people handling the dispute.

Respond

Use the processor's dispute workflow

A human reviews the record and any required fields before submission.

04

The edge cases

Eligibility is narrower than the phrase compelling evidence suggests.

Missing facts

The report does not invent them

No photo, message, prior payment, or guest identifier is fabricated to fill an evidence slot.

Visa CE 3.0

Specific 10.4 card-absent disputes only

Stripe documents qualifying Visa reason-code 10.4 disputes, two prior undisputed transactions in the required window, and matching evidence elements.

Other disputes

Standard evidence still matters

A report can remain useful even when CE 3.0 is unavailable; the processor's ordinary evidence path and deadlines apply.

05

What it deliberately does not do

A record can improve preparation without guaranteeing a win.

No outcome promise

The issuer and network decide

Valletto does not decide, reverse, or guarantee a dispute result.

No universal CE 3.0 claim

Qualification is processor- and transaction-specific

Stripe notes that qualified enhanced evidence status is distinct from the dispute's won or lost status.

06

What it connects to

The report supports your team’s review of a disputed visit.

Session and transaction

The operational and payment sources

The finished visit, its condition, messages, and charge are the durable inputs the report can actually support.

Staged synthetic marketing illustration of a dispute record with illustrative payment, session timeline, redacted vehicle context, and an explicit issuer-decides outcome boundary.

Illustrative dispute report. No real charge, guest, vehicle, or dispute data is present.

Where Valletto changes the math

Preparation can be automatic. Outcomes cannot be promised.

The product's job is to preserve and assemble the visit honestly, then leave qualification and decision to the payment network.
