​
Dispute fees

  • Whop immediately takes the disputed amount from your account
  • You’re charged a $15 dispute fee
  • The disputed funds are held during the investigation process to make sure you have enough to cover the dispute, and they are returned once the dispute is won
If you win: The disputed amount is returned to your Whop balance If you lose: The customer receives their refund from their card issuer - the money was already deducted to pay for this dispute, so no additional funds are taken from your account.

​
How to win disputes

​
1. Set up early dispute alerts (optional)

Early dispute alerts give you advance warning when a customer is about to file a dispute, allowing you to resolve the issue before it becomes an official dispute that hurts your account.

​
How Early dispute alerts work

  • Early warning system: When a customer starts a dispute, you get notified immediately. This gives you a chance to resolve the issue before it becomes an official dispute on your record.
  • Automatic refunds save money: Any transaction under your set amount gets automatically refunded, saving you from paying chargeback fees that can be much more expensive than the refund itself.
  • Clearer transaction info: Each purchase shows up on the customer’s bank statement with a clear description and website link, helping customers remember what they bought and reducing confusion-based disputes.
To set it up:
  1. Go to Dashboard > Dispute fighter
  2. Click Early dispute alert
  3. Enter the amount under Refund transactions lower than
  4. Click Save
You’ll be charged $29 per Early dispute alert.

​
2. Fight disputes via the Dispute fighter

Knowing how card issuers decide disputes helps you send better proof and win more often.
Even with Whop’s help, the card issuer has the final call on whether you’ll win or lose the dispute.

​
The decision process

  1. Initial review: The card issuer looks into the customer’s complaint
  2. Submitting evidence: You have 7-21 days to send your evidence (depending on the card company)
  3. Evaluation: The card issuer reviews all evidence and makes a decision (usually 60-75 days)
  4. Final answer: You either win or lose the dispute

​
What card issuers look for in your evidence

  • Proof of transaction: Clear records showing the customer sent the payment
  • Delivery proof: Evidence you gave them what they paid for
  • Customer chats: Any messages between you and the customer
  • Terms of Service: Proof the customer agreed to your terms
  • Return policy: Your clearly written return policy
