5\. Basing on the information provided in this file, it’s now required to build your defense case collecting all evidence that supports your case in a pdf (*7 MB size limit*) and include in the file’s name your *psp reference*. Down below is a list of documents that are needed to dispute a case: 

* 1 - Receipt;
* 2 - All shopper details - Full name, CPF number, email, phone number, address, etc.;
* 3 - Invoice;
* 4 - Copy of Order;
* 5 - Proof of service or product delivery;
* 6 - Screenshot with the transaction details;
* 7 - Shopper's letter assuming he actually made the transaction.

6\. List fully checked? Now, as a final step, upload your PDF to the folder Disputes: home > disputes. Tha file name has to start with the transaction uniqueid: **Uniqueid\_\[optional merchant naming]**![](blob:https://primeiropay.atlassian.net/e215e6f7-ee7b-46e8-8f16-2acb618852bf#media-blob-url=true\&id=4ed4e0db-375b-4793-a982-df17c3208a0f\&collection=contentId-1055326213\&contextId=1055326213\&mimeType=image%2Fpng\&name=image-20200409-204706.png\&size=8214\&width=807\&height=33)

7\. As the cases get analyzed and closed, the outcome of the dispute will be found in the list of transactions in the same spreadsheet (Dispute Report), underneath a column named: Final Outcome.\ <br>

**Easy, right? Here is some additional information:**

\
• Our acquirer takes up 90 days to send us a feedback on the outcome.\
• Your defenses will always have one of the following statuses:

\
**Open:** chargeback is still pending to be disputed (7 days to defend a case).\
**Win:** Merchant won the defense, the debit won't be charged from your balance.\
**Lose:** The shopper will pay the debit, which will be settled and can be found in the settlement report.
