Building a Strong Evidence Packet
The evidence packet is what wins a dispute. Here is what goes into a strong one.
A strong evidence packet tells a clear transaction story: the customer ordered, you fulfilled, and here is the proof. Include the order details, delivery or fulfillment confirmation, and customer communication, organized the way a reviewer expects and tailored to directly answer the specific reason behind the dispute.
Evidence tells the story
A strong evidence packet tells a clear story: the customer ordered, you delivered, and here is the proof. The more completely and clearly you can show that, the harder it is for a dispute to succeed against you. Related: What Banks Look For in Evidence

Include the essentials
The core of any packet is the order details, proof of delivery or fulfillment, and the communication with the customer. Together these show a legitimate transaction that was completed as agreed. Related: What should a small shop do when tracking says delivered but the customer disputes the charge?
Organize for the reviewer
A reviewer decides quickly, so evidence organized the way they expect, clear and to the point, is far more persuasive than a jumble of screenshots. Presentation matters as much as content. Related: Which screenshots actually help a chargeback response and which ones do bank analysts ignore?
Match the reason
A dispute has a reason, and the strongest packet directly answers it. Tailoring your evidence to the specific claim, rather than submitting a generic bundle, is what turns a good packet into a winning one.
