Chargeback Defence

Defend Against Friendly Fraud

When customers dispute legitimate purchases, your word alone won't win. Pre-shipment video evidence, sealed with cryptographic certification, gives you the proof card networks demand.

False Disputes Are Costing You More Than Chargebacks

Customers who receive exactly what they ordered — then claim otherwise — represent the fastest-growing category of payment disputes. Without verifiable evidence of what left your warehouse, you're fighting these claims blind.

"Item Not Received" Claims on Delivered Orders

A customer signs for a parcel, then files a dispute claiming it never arrived. Carrier tracking shows delivery, but card networks often side with the cardholder unless you can prove what was inside the package.

"Not As Described" Disputes on Correct Orders

Orders packed and shipped accurately still attract disputes when customers claim the product differed from their expectations. Without visual evidence of the exact contents, you have no way to counter the claim.

Repeat Offenders Exploiting Weak Evidence

Some buyers learn they can dispute charges with impunity because merchants rarely have compelling proof. These serial disputants cost businesses thousands before patterns are identified.

Chargeback Fees Compounding Lost Revenue

Beyond the refunded order value, each lost dispute carries processor fees, penalty charges, and increased monitoring thresholds. Enough losses can push your business into high-risk merchant programmes.

Why Merchants Keep Losing Legitimate Sales to False Claims

The Burden of Proof Falls on the Seller

Card network rules place the evidential burden squarely on merchants during representment. Without compelling documentation, the chargeback stands — regardless of whether the order was fulfilled correctly.

Photos and Packing Slips Are Easily Dismissed

Static images lack timestamps, can be staged after the fact, and carry no cryptographic proof of authenticity. Dispute analysts routinely discard them as insufficient evidence.

No Systematic Link Between Evidence and Orders

Even when warehouse staff do capture photos, there's often no reliable system connecting that evidence to the specific order, shipment, and timestamp — making retrieval during a dispute slow or impossible.

Dispute Windows Outlast Evidence Retention

Customers can file chargebacks up to 120 days after purchase. By that point, many merchants have lost, overwritten, or never captured the packing evidence needed for representment.

Dishonest Claims Look Identical to Genuine Ones

Without objective evidence, a false dispute is indistinguishable from a legitimate complaint. This ambiguity forces merchants into costly refund-first policies that reward bad actors.

Turn Every Shipment Into a Defensible Record

PackProof gives your fulfilment team a simple, repeatable process that creates legally defensible evidence for every order — before it leaves the warehouse.

Certified Video That Card Networks Accept

Each packing recording is sealed with a SHA-512 cryptographic hash the moment capture ends. This proves the footage hasn't been altered, giving dispute analysts evidence they can trust.

Immutable Timestamps Prove Pre-Shipment Capture

Every sealed recording carries a tamper-proof timestamp showing it was created before the order shipped. This eliminates any claim that evidence was fabricated after a dispute was filed.

Instant Evidence Retrieval Within Dispute Deadlines

Search by order number, date, or customer name and pull up the exact recording in seconds. Respond to chargebacks within minutes instead of scrambling through folders or giving up.

Deterrent Effect Reduces Disputes Over Time

When customers know their orders are recorded and certified, false claims drop. Merchants using systematic packing evidence report significant reductions in dispute volume within months.

How to Build a Dispute-Proof Packing Process With PackProof

1

Record Each Order at the Packing Station

As your team packs an order, PackProof captures a continuous video showing every item placed in the box. The recording is linked to the order number automatically.

2

Seal the Evidence With SHA-512 Certification

Once recording ends, PackProof generates a unique cryptographic hash and immutable timestamp. This seals the footage so any tampering would be immediately detectable.

3

Store Securely With Team Access Controls

Sealed recordings are stored in PackProof's secure cloud, organised by order and accessible to authorised team members. Evidence is retained well beyond standard chargeback windows.

4

Retrieve and Submit When a Dispute Arrives

When a false claim is filed, search for the order, download the certified evidence package, and include it in your representment response. The cryptographic seal and timestamp speak for themselves.
