PayPal Dispute & Chargeback Alert

Instant alert when a PayPal dispute or chargeback is filed, with details for quick response.

Nora monitors PayPal for disputes and chargebacks, immediately notifying your team. Includes buyer info, transaction details, and action steps. Faster response time improves dispute resolution rates.

Disputes and chargebacks are serious—they cost money and damage your PayPal account standing. This automation monitors PayPal for any dispute or chargeback filed against your account and instantly alerts your team via email and/or Slack. The alert includes: buyer email and name, transaction amount and date, the reason code (e.g., 'item not received,' 'unauthorized transaction'), the dispute ID, and a direct link to the PayPal Resolution Center where you can respond. Nora also pulls recent messages between you and the buyer (if any) to give context. For high-risk reasons (e.g., significant amounts over $500), Nora can auto-escalate to a manager or attorney for guidance. The automation also calculates your current dispute ratio to help you stay compliant with PayPal's thresholds (typically 1% allowed). Fast alerting is critical because you usually have 10 days to respond; this automation cuts response time from hours to seconds.
