When the fee is taken and returned

  • Chargeback: the disputed amount and the fee are taken right away, usually from your next payout.
  • Inquiry: nothing is taken while the bank reviews it.
  • Decided for you: the amount and the fee are returned.
  • Decided for the customer: the amount and the fee are not returned.

Currency differences

When the customer's card is from another country, the chargeback amount follows exchange rates, so you may see small adjustments. These are separate from the fee.
