Disputes report - Payrails Docs

The Disputes report only returns data for merchants with the Chargebacks (disputes) module enabled. If the module isn’t enabled, the report still generates successfully but is empty.

Rows fall into two categories

Payrails-orchestrated disputes — the original payment was processed through Payrails. These rows have ORIG_TRANSACTION_ID, ORIG_TRANSACTION_DATE, ORIG_TRANSACTION_AMT, ORIG_TRANSACTION_CURR, PAYMENT_METHOD, ISSUER_NAME, BIN, and ISSUER_COUNTRY_CODE populated.
External disputes — raised directly at the PSP, outside Payrails orchestration. The fields above are blank, since that information isn’t available in the dispute event.
