How to find order disputes
- Navigate to Financials

Understanding disputes
When a dispute has been filed, you’ll receive an email.
All of the information in order disputes comes from our payment processing partner Stripe. If you have submitted evidence for a dispute and don't see an immediate update, please wait 24 hours to see if the dashboard refreshes.
