Dispute Knight - Automated Chargeback Recovery
An intelligent automation platform that revolutionizes how businesses handle Stripe chargebacks by automatically contesting disputes and recovering lost revenue.
Project Overview
Dispute Knight addresses a critical pain point for online businesses: the time-consuming and complex process of contesting credit card chargebacks. Traditional dispute resolution requires manual review of each case, gathering evidence, and crafting responses - often resulting in businesses simply accepting losses rather than fighting winnable disputes.
The platform automates the entire chargeback contest process, from initial review to evidence compilation and submission, allowing businesses to recover more money while saving valuable time and resources.

Challenges and Solutions
Challenge 1: Complex Stripe Integration
Integrating deeply with Stripe's dispute system while maintaining real-time synchronization across multiple merchant accounts presented technical complexity.
Solution: Developed a robust webhook system with intelligent retry logic and data validation to ensure reliable dispute detection and processing.
Challenge 2: AI Decision Making
Creating an AI system that could accurately evaluate dispute cases and predict success rates required extensive data analysis and machine learning model training.
Solution: Built custom algorithms trained on historical dispute data to identify patterns and factors that contribute to successful contests, continuously improving accuracy through feedback loops.
Challenge 3: User Trust and Adoption
Convincing businesses to automate their financial dispute processes required building strong trust and demonstrating clear value.
Solution: Implemented a risk-free pricing model where clients only pay when disputes are successfully won, removing barriers to adoption and aligning incentives.
Results
- Risk-Free Model: 25% commission only on successfully won disputes
- Automated Efficiency: Reduced manual dispute handling time by 95%
- Improved Recovery: Increased average dispute win rates through systematic approach
- Seamless Integration: Zero-friction setup with existing Stripe accounts
