Raise dispute with dynamic flow

Customers can raise disputes to recover funds from fraudulent transactions or problematic products and services.

For the dispute submission process, Wise offers Dynamic Flow, a way to easily build embeddable forms into your application. There are 2 ways you can implement our dynamic flow for disputes:

  • Customer Initiated
  • Partner Customer Support Initiated

Dispute Flow Customer Initiated

The customer initiated flow is used when you would like to show the dynamic flow on your customer facing app.

Dispute Flow Partner Customer Support Initiated

The partner customer support initiated flow is used when you would like to show the dynamic flow to your internal app used only accessible to your employees.

If you think that a card has been compromised, block or freeze the card.

After submission of the dispute, Wise's agents will get in contact with your support team should they need anymore information.

Setting up the submit dispute API for Dynamic Forms

You will need to implement a POST API with the following format:
POST https://{{yourApiUrl}}/v3/spend/profiles/{{profileId}}/dispute-form/flows/{{scheme}}/{{reason}}

This API should forward the call to POST https://{{wiseUrl}}/v3/spend/profiles/{{profileId}}/dispute-form/flows/{{scheme}}/{{reason}} along with the request body. This is required as the dynamic form returned by us will automatically be configured to call your POST API In order to redirect the Dynamic Flow JavaScript library to your domain please use baseUrl or fetcher as part of the dynamic flows setup


See example backend implementation

The response to the submit call of the dynamic flow will include the x-df-exit: true HTTP header. This header is used by the JavaScript framework to add an option to exit the dynamic flow and redirect the user to a different page (or exit a WebView depending on the client's implementation). In order to intercept the last page on the frontend, an onClose function should be added to JavaScript, for example:

const onClose = () => {
console.log("DF is exiting");
window.location.href = "https://www.google.com/";
};

GET /v3/spend/profiles/{{profileId}}/dispute-form/reasons

Retrieves the list of possible reasons for submitting a dispute.

If a reason code has subOptions, those should be used for submitting disputes.

Example Request
curl -X GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v3/spend/profiles/{{profileId}}/dispute-form/reasons \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <your api token>'

Response

Returns a collection of Reason.

POST /v3/spend/profiles/{{profileId}}/dispute-form/flows/step/{{scheme}}/{{reason}}?transactionId={{transactionId}}

Retrieves the JSON for initiating the dispute flow. This endpoint should be used in conjuction with Wise's Dynamic Flow framework.

The JSON data in the response must be passed into the Dynamic Flow Framework which handles the rest of the multi-step dispute submission including the generation of the subsequent pages (if needed) and the creation of the dispute, along with all the required documents.

A sample implementation of the dynamic flow for Disputes can be found here.

Path and Request Parameters

Wise's Dynamic Flow uses Bootstrap for responsive UI, based on a 12-grid column layout. The defaults for currency selection, amount and file upload are col-xs-12, col-sm-6, and col-xs-12 for the rest. The CSS classes used are listed below. These class selectors can be used to override existing CSS

To override the existing CSS, add a new stylesheet and place the reference to that file after a Bootstrap CSS reference (if any), so that it will override any previous style properties. Alternatively, add !important to a property/value to override ALL previous styling rules for that property. Avoid using this for all properties, as the stylesheet will be large and more difficult to debug. In this code example, modify the CSS file imports in App.js to view the different overriding style sheets.

Please note that some of the form elements also use core Bootstrap classes, so be careful when you modify the styles.

An interactive demo can be found here.
