1. To connect to our SFTP, you will first need to contact your Account Manager to provide you with a host, username, and password.
2\. Using the credentials that were created, connect to the SFTP and there will be all your reports, including the disputes report.
3\. Also you will find a folder named 'DISPUTES': Inside the folder, you will see all files that are uploaded on a daily basis with the following filename structure:
Name of Merchant \_Name of Report ( Disputes)\_ Date when the file was received
4\. Opening the file will display the complete detailed information regarding the disputed transaction: 
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]**
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.\
**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.
