# Risk

> View and handle customer issues and chargebacks on one page

## Risk Overview

The Risk page puts [customer issues](https://docs.waffo.ai/mor/customer-issues.md) and [chargebacks](https://docs.waffo.ai/mor/chargebacks.md) in one list, so you can see at a glance what needs your action and which case is most urgent.

* **Where**: **Insights → Risk** in the sidebar. Older links to a customer issue or chargeback open the matching details on the Risk page.
* **Who**: the store Owner and Admins can view and act.
* **Mode**: test-mode and live-mode data are shown separately.

***

## Summary Cards

| Card | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **Needs your action** | Customer issues and chargebacks in the Needs action group, with a split by type underneath |
| **Due within 24 hours** | Cases that need your action and whose response deadline is within 24 hours, overdue ones included. Underneath: how many hours are left on the earliest one |
| **Chargeback rate** | New chargebacks in the last 30 days ÷ successful payments, with the change from the previous 30 days (pt) |
| **Customer issue rate** | New customer issues in the last 30 days ÷ successful payments, with the change from the previous 30 days (pt) |

***

## The List

| Column | What it shows |
| - | - |
| Created | When the issue was submitted or the chargeback was filed |
| Type | Customer issue or Chargeback |
| Product | The product on the linked payment |
| Customer | The customer on the linked payment |
| Reason | Customer issues: "topic: the first sentence the customer wrote". Chargebacks: "reason (reason code)" |
| Amount | Customer issues: the payment amount. Chargebacks: the disputed amount |
| Status | The status group — see [Status groups](#status-groups) below |
| Due | Customer issues: the first-response deadline. Chargebacks: the response deadline |

* A deadline turns red when 24 hours or less remain, and shows **Overdue** once passed. Cases that do not need your action show "—".
* Sorting: cases that need your action come first, earliest deadline first; everything else is sorted by most recent activity.

### Filters and search

| Filter | Options |
| - | - |
| Status | Needs action, Under review, Resolved, Won, Lost — multi-select. **Only Needs action is selected by default** |
| Type | Customer issue, Chargeback — multi-select |
| Search | Product, order or case ID; also matches the payment ID, the card network dispute number, and the customer's email |

When you select a single type, the Status filter lists only the groups that apply to it: Won and Lost are for chargebacks only, and Resolved is for customer issues only.

### Status groups

| Group | Customer issues | Chargebacks |
| - | - | - |
| **Needs action** | Every open issue, including ones you replied to and are waiting on the customer | First or second cycle, waiting for you to defend or accept |
| **Under review** | The linked refund is processing | Defense submitted and under review, or moving to the second cycle |
| **Resolved** | Resolved, Closed | — |
| **Won** | — | Won, Withdrawn, Settled |
| **Lost** | — | Lost, Accepted, Expired, and Needs action cases past their response deadline |

For the statuses inside each group, see [Issue statuses](https://docs.waffo.ai/mor/customer-issues.md#issue-statuses) and [Chargeback statuses](https://docs.waffo.ai/mor/chargebacks.md#chargeback-statuses).

## Issue Details

Click a customer issue to open **Issue details** on the right:

| Section | Contents |
| - | - |
| Header | The status and **Respond by** date; red when 24 hours or less remain |
| Issue summary | Submitted, Reason, Issue ID, Order ID, Payment ID, Customer email — each one copyable |
| Payment | Product, amount, card, payment date, and whether it is a subscription. Click through to the payment details to refund |
| Conversation | Messages from the customer, your team (showing who replied), and Pancake Support, plus system events |

From the details you can:

* **Reply to customer**: type in the box at the bottom (up to 2,000 characters) and press Enter to send.
* **Mark as resolved**: once confirmed, the customer is notified and can reopen the issue within 7 days. You can add an optional note for the customer.
* **Refund**: start it from the payment details, then come back to reply or mark the issue as resolved.

For the rules and deadlines, see [Customer Issues](https://docs.waffo.ai/mor/customer-issues.md).

## Chargeback Details

Click a chargeback to open **Chargeback details** on the right:

| Section | Contents |
| - | - |
| Header | The group, the cycle (shown for the second cycle), and the **Response due** date |
| Chargeback summary | Filed, Response due, Case ID, Reason, Reason code, Amount, Chargeback fee, Order ID, Payment ID, Customer |
| Payment | Product, amount, card, payment date. A notice appears if the subscription is still billing or the payment was refunded |
| Linked case | First or second cycle, and the case status |
| Evidence | Uploaded files and when they were submitted. Files can be downloaded; unsubmitted files can be removed |
| About funds | How the disputed amount and chargeback fee are deducted from your balance, and when they come back |

While a case needs action and the response deadline has not passed, **Submit defense** and **Accept chargeback** appear at the bottom of the details. After the deadline, every action is disabled.

### Submit a defense

**1. Click Submit defense**

**Evidence to prepare for your defense** at the top of the dialog shows the issuer's own requirements for this reason code, in English.

**2. Upload evidence**

Drag files onto the upload area, or click **Choose files**. PDF, JPEG, or PNG, up to 10 MB each, up to 10 files per case.

**3. Add notes for the issuer (optional)**

Explain in English why the charge is valid, up to 2,048 characters.

**4. Confirm**

The dialog shows how many files will be sent. Submitted files can no longer be removed, and a \$10 defense fee is charged.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The second cycle does not accept new evidence; your first-cycle material stands. Before you defend the second cycle you must tick **I understand the arbitration risk.** If the issuer still disagrees, the case may go to arbitration, which can cost around \$500 if it is not decided in your favor.

For the evidence each reason code needs, see [Evidence by reason code](https://docs.waffo.ai/mor/chargebacks.md#evidence-by-reason-code).

### Accept a chargeback

Click **Accept chargeback** and confirm. This can't be undone: the disputed amount is not returned and the chargeback fee is not refunded.

## Customer Issues & Chargebacks in Analytics

The **Customer issues & chargebacks** section on the **Analytics** page follows the Analytics date range and, like the Risk page, is shown only to the store Owner and Admins:

| Chart | What it shows |
| - | - |
| New cases | New customer issues and chargebacks per day, week, or month in the selected period |
| By reason | The top 8 reasons. Customer issues are grouped by topic; chargebacks by Fraud, Authorization, Processing error, Consumer dispute, or Other |
