Chargeback FAQ 

1. What happens when there is a chargeback dispute on a consolidated invoice?

If the chargeback dispute is for the entire amount of the invoice then the chargeback is managed as per the configuration. In case of partial dispute, no action is taken on the invoice. An email is sent to the merchant and they have to take manual action. Read more on Chargeback Automation.

7. Are direct debit late failures treated as chargebacks in Braintree?

No, Braintree handles direct debit late failures as transaction failures. When a transaction fails at a later stage, Braintree triggers the Transaction Settlement Declined webhook. If Chargebee listens for this webhook, the failure will also be recognized as a transaction failure in Chargebee.

In the case of a chargeback for a direct debit payment, Braintree treats the transaction as an ACH return, which is eventually classified as a transaction settlement decline.
