Amazon Pay Chargeback Response Template for Merchants

Start from Amazon Pay's deadline, then build the evidence map.

Amazon Pay says merchants need to respond to the chargeback email with supporting information and documents, and its chargeback FAQ references an 11-calendar-day evidence window from the email notification date. The issuing bank decides the final outcome, so the response needs clean evidence rather than broad arguments.

Chargeback FAQ Handling chargebacks Manage disputes

Delivery or access proof

For item-not-received or service disputes, prioritize shipment tracking, delivery confirmation, service completion, download, login, or access records tied to the Amazon Pay order.

Order and product proof

Preserve the Amazon Pay order reference, merchant order ID, product or service description, amount, checkout details, terms, and records showing what the buyer purchased.

Refund and claim context

Document any refund, cancellation, replacement, return, buyer dispute, or support commitment so Amazon Pay can see whether the claimed issue was already handled.

Neutral response wording

Keep the response factual. Point to the attachment names and avoid legal threats, accusations, or unsupported buyer-intent claims.
