Examples of Documentation
While the available and ideal documentation may vary depending on the product and dispute reason, here are some examples of compelling evidence that merchants commonly provide:
- Proof of delivery: This can include shipment tracking information, delivery confirmation, or signed receipts from the customer acknowledging receipt of the goods or services.
- Customer communication: Any correspondence or communication with the customer that demonstrates their satisfaction with the transaction, such as emails, chat logs, or support tickets.
- Transaction records: Detailed records of the transaction, including invoices, receipts, order forms, or any other relevant documentation that clearly shows the purchase was authorized and completed by the customer.
- Product or service descriptions: Descriptions or specifications of the product or service offered, including pricing, features, terms, and conditions, to establish that the customer was aware of what they were purchasing.
- Contracts or agreements: If applicable, contracts or agreements between the merchant and the customer that outline the terms of the transaction, refund policies, or any other relevant terms and conditions.
- Proof of identity: In cases where identity verification is crucial, providing evidence that verifies the customer's identity, such as government-issued identification documents or authentication records.
