In this article, you will find the template to use when sending your official dispute response to the Workiz Pay team.
What is a dispute?
A dispute is when a cardholder — typically your client — questions your Workiz Pay charge with their card issuer. A successful dispute can lead to a chargeback. A chargeback is when the cardholder is refunded the charged amount, with that amount being drawn from your Workiz Pay account. In the event of a chargeback, your business would also be charged a non-refundable $25 fee.
If your Workiz Pay balance cannot cover the chargeback amount, the remaining amount will be drawn from your business bank account.
Workiz will notify you of a dispute via email, detailing the reason for the dispute as well as a description of the dispute.
You may be able to recover the chargeback funds by contacting your client AND formally responding to the dispute.
A formal response to a dispute requires you to collect and submit evidence that helps explain why your service charge should not have been disputed in the first place.
For more information on gathering evidence in a response to a dispute, please see this article.
Providing evidence to the Workiz Pay team
IMPORTANT: Due to banking regulations, you will only have one opportunity to submit evidence for a dispute.
When providing evidence to Workiz, your evidence will be submitted immediately to the issuing bank. You will not be able to make any changes or additions to your evidence after submitting.
Please make sure that you have assembled all of your evidence prior to submitting.
If you are waiting for your client to provide confirmation of a dispute withdrawal, please ensure you give yourself enough time to receive the document without going past the deadline provided.
Once you have gathered your evidence, you will need to submit it to the Workiz Pay team using the email template provided below. The Workiz Pay team will submit your response on your behalf.
