Stripe chargeback received means Stripe has notified you that a customer’s bank has reversed a payment and opened a formal chargeback case.

In simple terms, the customer has disputed the charge through their bank.

What Stripe Does Immediately

  • The disputed amount is removed or temporarily held from your balance

  • A chargeback fee is applied

  • The case is marked open in your Stripe dashboard

  • You are given a deadline to submit evidence

Your account remains active, but the funds are locked.

Why Customers File Chargebacks

  • They do not recognize the charge

  • The product or service was not delivered

  • The item was not as described

  • A refund was not issued on time

  • They contacted the bank instead of the business

Most chargebacks start as unresolved customer complaints.

What You Should Do Next

  • Review the chargeback reason carefully

  • Submit clear evidence before the deadline

  • Upload delivery proof, invoices, or usage logs

  • Respond promptly to avoid automatic loss

Fast action increases your chances of winning.

What Happens After You Respond

  • The bank reviews both sides

  • The chargeback status moves to under review

  • A final decision is made in 30–90 days

Stripe will notify you of the outcome.

Impact on Your Account

  • One chargeback usually has minimal impact

  • Repeated chargebacks increase risk

  • High chargeback rates may cause payout delays or reserves

Prevention is key to long-term account stability.

Stripe chargeback received means a payment has been challenged through the bank.
Respond quickly, submit strong evidence, and keep chargebacks low to protect your Stripe account.
