Create Case

👍

Availability

No new clients will be set up with Dispute API 2.0. Legacy clients will eventually be migrated to Dispute API 3.0.

Use the Create Case endpoint to initiate a dispute claim. A single claim may contain multiple disputed transactions. Call this endpoint when the account holder initiates a claim by clicking a "dispute a transaction" control on your interface.

This endpoint returns a case number (caseId) that you pass with all subsequent endpoint calls that are related to this dispute.

This endpoint is part of a conversational API—a series of endpoint calls that must be made in a certain order. For instructions see the Creating an API 2.0 Dispute guide.
