Measuring Payment Dispute RateMore about Payment Dispute Rate
Payment Dispute Rate is an interesting way to look at disputed charges. Essentially, you are tracking the ratio of successful payments to disputes. A dispute occurs when the customer challenges a payment with their card issuer. If you do not respond to or provide sufficient evidence against a disputed charge, the disputed amount is deducted from your account. You should aim to keep your Payment Dispute Rate to a minimum. Ideally, this number should decrease over time.
