Chargeback Recovery Setup

Before using Forter’s Chargeback Recovery solution, merchants must complete a one-time setup process. These steps ensure Forter can receive claims, prepare dispute packages, and submit them effectively on your behalf.

1. Forward Chargeback Claims to Forter

Set up one of the supported methods to forward chargeback data to Forter:

Processor Webhook (recommended)
Claims API
S3 File Upload
Third-party integration (e.g., Justt)

2. Establish Processor Access

Allow Forter to submit representments to your payment processor when applicable. This typically involves:

Configuring user roles or API keys
Whitelisting Forter credentials
Enabling submission permissions in your PSP or acquiring platform

3. Upload Static Evidence

General pieces of evidence to be reused across all your disputes, such as:

Checkout experience screenshots
Terms & Conditions (T&Cs)
- Return policy
- Refund/cancellation policy
- Subscription terms (if applicable)
- These policies help support service-related chargebacks and reduce representment friction
Product/service descriptions
Logos or brand identity files

These are stored securely and reused automatically when relevant.
