The Dispute object
Description
Mangopay relies on the Dispute object to manage chargeback requests from a User. This object is automatically created when the user’s bank orders the reversal of a pay-in.
As a consequence, Mangopay withdraws the required funds from the platform’s Repudiation Wallet. This is called a repudiation and results in the repudiation wallet having a negative balance that the platform will need to settle.
