Handling Failed or Disputed Payments
Updated over 2 months ago

Payment Failures

  • Client’s Card Declined: The platform automatically attempts to reprocess or prompts the client to update info.

  • Invalid Bank Details: If your payout fails due to your own bank account error, fix it in Connected Accounts.

Disputed Payments (“Chargebacks”)

  • A client can dispute a charge if they claim unauthorized payment or incomplete service.

  • When a dispute arises, you may see a “Cancelled” status. Funds might be withheld until resolution.

Resolving Disputes

  1. Collect Evidence: In-app chat logs, photos of completed work, client instructions.

  2. Open Support Ticket: Provide your evidence and your side of the story.

  3. Investigation: Stripe + UrbanMount determine if the client’s claim is valid.

  4. Outcome: If resolved in your favor, you receive the funds. If the dispute is upheld, partial or full amounts may be refunded to the client.

Minimizing Disputes

  • Clear communication, itemized descriptions, and photo evidence of finished tasks are your best defense against chargebacks.
