Pilot: Managing disputes with GuestyPay

The Guesty dispute management platform helps you handle GuestyPay chargebacks efficiently. Use this tool to review new cases, submit evidence (representments), and track the outcome of every dispute.

Get started with the dashboard

The dispute dashboard provides a centralized view of all current and past chargebacks. Use the Case Management tab to monitor your progress and take action on new disputes.

Key features

  • Status Tracking: Identify if cases are "New", "In Progress", "Submitted", "Won", or "Lost".

  • Filters and Search: Sort cases by status, reason code, date range, or the assigned team member.

  • Case Assignment: Assign specific disputes to team members to streamline your workflow.

  • Quick Actions: Open any case to upload evidence or update its status.

Best practices for winning disputes

  • Submit early: Always submit your response well before the deadline.

  • Be organized: Use clear file names for evidence, such as "Proof_of_Stay_Reservation123.pdf".

  • Stay factual: Keep your evidence short and directly related to the dispute reason code.

  • Review details: Double-check that transaction and guest details match your internal records before submitting.
