Digital product chargeback response template
Digital sellers respond in Stripe with text plus attachments. A response template keeps tone neutral, maps files to evidence fields, and documents delivery clearly. This guide covers structure, placeholders, and common sections for downloads, courses, and license keys. Educational only — not legal advice. Clear responses help reviewers follow your case; outcomes are not guaranteed.
Response template structure
- Opening — dispute ID, charge amount, product name, purchase date
- Delivery summary — how the buyer received access (email, portal, download)
- Evidence index — numbered list of attachments and which Stripe field each supports
- Customer communication — factual summary of support contacts (no speculation)
- Policy reference — refund terms active at purchase with attachment reference
- Closing — request for review based on documented facts only
See our response examples for tone guidance — adapt placeholders to your real records.

Before you submit
Run the response checklist, verify files live in your evidence folder, and confirm the deadline in your spreadsheet. Peer review catches missing dates or wrong customer references.
Language to avoid
- Accusations or emotional language toward the cardholder
- Claims you cannot support with attached files
- Promises about what the issuer must decide
- Legal conclusions — consult counsel for complex cases
Response template checklist
- All placeholders replaced with case-specific facts
- Each attachment referenced in the evidence index
- Delivery proof covers the disputed billing period
- Policy files dated at purchase time attached
- Response reviewed against Stripe field requirements
- Submitted before deadline with tracker updated
What this template does not do

- Does not provide legal advice
- Does not replace Stripe submission requirements
- Does not fabricate logs or messages
