Buyer claims a digital service was not received
A buyer claimed they did not receive a service, while the merchant provided an online tool, membership, or digital product. SmartChargeback helped review delivery and usage context.
Scenario
A digital service merchant received a chargeback from a buyer claiming the service was not received. Because the service was not physical, traditional delivery proof was not available.
Merchant challenge
Digital products, online tools, memberships, and cloud services often face this issue. Access, usage behavior, and whether the service was provided as agreed all affect case assessment.
How SmartChargeback can help
SmartChargeback helped assess the dispute from the perspective of service delivery and customer usage, clarifying which information could support the case.
What this case shows
For digital service merchants, delivery is not a tracking number. It needs to be recorded and explained in a way that fits the business model.
