This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

Disputes can be costly and time-consuming. Below are tips to help prevent chargebacks and improve your chances of winning if one occurs.


1. Get a Signature From the Person Paying

Always ensure the person making the payment is the one who signs the contract.

  • If you're working with an event planner, make sure the end client (the cardholder) is listed as the client and is the one who signs.

  • Use Goodshuffle Pro's online signature feature to record a timestamp with the signed contract.

  • If you have a signature or approval outside of the system (e.g., scanned doc or email), store that in the Files section of the project.

✅ A signed contract tied to the correct person makes disputes much easier to counter.


2. Document Client Communication

  • Keep all client interactions (email or text) for a clear timeline of approvals and conversations.

  • Store key exchanges in your project’s Files tab for easy access.

  • If a dispute is reported, try reaching out to the client to see if it was a mistake.


3. Prove Delivery and Services Rendered

  • Have clients sign the Receipt of Goods and Services at the time of delivery or pickup.

  • Save any of the following to the project’s Files section:

    • Signed documents

    • Photos of delivered setups

    • Client testimonials or confirmations

💡 The more proof you have that the event took place as agreed, the stronger your evidence.


4. Learn From the Experts


Dispute Fee Reminder
