How we manage disputes at PayG
Only the Customer or PayG can raise disputes. The merchant can view all disputes raised on their transactions in their Disputes Listing Page. They can also provide updates as well as submit required documents for the dispute via a 3-way messaging facility between PayG, the merchant and the customer.
1. Supporting Documents
PayG may request for a set of supporting documents for cases that need further investigation. These documents could include the Authorization Letter from the customer, Cancellation Policy, etc. Merchants can respond by attaching the required documents with a clarification message using our messaging facility. This can be uploaded from MMS portal.
2. Dispute Resolution
PayG team can either close the dispute in the merchant's favour or allow chargeback to the customer. The Dispute status can be: 'Open', 'Chargeback', 'Closed' and 'Open and Hold'. After the dispute status has been set to 'Open', or 'Open and Hold', PayG can update its status to 'Closed' or 'Chargeback'. If the open dispute is confirmed as chargeback, PayG will debit the dispute amount in the customer's favour and set the status as 'Chargeback'. Similarly, if the open dispute is closed in favour of the merchant, PayG will update the dispute status as 'Closed'.
3. Resolution of 'Open and Hold' Cases
PayG designates the status as 'Open and Hold' for disputed cases that need further investigation and sets the amount as well as the end date for resolution. The amount set aside for resolution at this stage cannot be greater than the disputed amount.
When the time limit set for the 'Open and Hold' case is over and the dispute status has not changed, PayG will release the amount held against the dispute and close the dispute.
After further investigation, when PayG changes the status for the 'Open and Hold' case to 'Chargeback', the amount set aside for resolution (the balance amount payable) is treated as the chargeback amount and debited from the merchant's account in favour of the customer.
When PayG changes the status for the 'Open and Hold' case to 'Closed', the amount set aside for resolution is ruled in the merchant's favour i.e. credited to their account.
PayG has a very stringent mechanism to deal with refunds of failed transactions (transactions charged to customer but not returned to Payment Aggregator and, in turn, to merchant, hence no services are rendered).
PayG processes the refund to the original payment method and if the merchant and customer agree to process through a different channel that will not be applied for this process. We have intuitive ways to process refunds via APIs, dashboard, and ways to set auto-refund for the below scenarios.
Due to network/API communication drop and delayed response from banks, there can be a status change of transactions, due to which amount may get debited from customer account but service/product may not be rendered to customers. Merchants can reverse such transactions or accept them. This is enabled at the PayG end based on merchant request. The normal merchant agreed refunds get processed via refund APIs and PayG dashboard. Merchants can initiate the refund and PayG will process the refund and adjust in the subsequent day's settlement.
We also have API level and recon level processes to address the forced success transactions from banks and the same is refunded or settled based on the nature of business.
