Auto-Compile Chargeback Dispute Evidence the Moment One Is Filed
An n8n workflow that fires when a chargeback is opened, gathers the order details, delivery tracking, customer communications and proof of the digital agreement into one evidence packet, and drops it in your dispute folder with a submission-ready summary — so you fight chargebacks in minutes with your strongest case, not scramble past the deadline.

Webhookreceives thecharge.dispute.createdevent. Extract the charge ID, amount, reason (e.g. product_not_received, fraudulent) and the response deadline — the clock that makes speed matter. - 2
Pull the order and delivery proof
HTTP Requestnodes look up the matching order in your store and the shipment's tracking from your carrier/aggregator, capturing the delivery status, timestamps and the address it was delivered to. Delivery proof is the single most persuasive piece of evidence. - 3
Gather communications and consent
Additional lookups collect any support emails with the customer and the record of them accepting your terms and refund policy at checkout (IP + timestamp). Together these counter 'unauthorized' and 'not as described' claims.

Frequently asked questions
Why do dropshippers lose so many chargebacks?
Two reasons: slow shipping makes 'item not received' disputes common, and merchants respond late or with weak evidence. Chargebacks have tight deadlines and you must proactively prove delivery, the customer's agreement to terms, and communications. Doing that manually across Stripe, your store and the carrier for every dispute is tedious, so busy stores skip it — and forfeit. Automating the evidence gathering removes the excuse to not fight.
What evidence does it collect?
The essentials card networks look for: the order with items and amount, the shipping address and the delivery tracking showing the parcel reached that address, the customer's IP and the timestamp they accepted your terms/refund policy, and any support emails or messages. Assembled together, this is a far stronger case than a merchant typing a paragraph from memory two days before the deadline.
Does it submit the dispute automatically?
By default it compiles and stages the packet for a human to review and submit, because a wrong submission can't be undone and some disputes aren't worth fighting (a genuine 'item not as described' may be cheaper to concede). Once you trust the packets, Stripe's API does allow programmatic evidence submission, which you can enable for clear-cut 'item received' cases.
Which processors does it work with?
The trigger is a dispute-created webhook — Stripe, PayPal, and most processors provide one. The evidence-gathering steps pull from your store and carrier regardless of processor. The example uses Stripe's dispute object; adapting to PayPal means changing the trigger and the field names, not the overall flow.
