$12,852

a year · $1,071/mo

Illustrative for a store doing ~$100K/mo with ~$6,000 in monthly chargebacks. Success-fee tools typically take ~25% of recovered funds; alert tools charge per alert plus the revenue auto-refunded to prevent disputes. DisputeDesk is a flat $129/mo on Growth at any volume — a store 5× the size saves over $85,000 a year.

04 · Which one is right for you

No tool wins for everyone

When Riskified may be the better fit

If you're a large enterprise wanting fraud decisioning with a chargeback guarantee and have the volume to justify it, Riskified operates at a scale a focused SMB app doesn't target.

When DisputeDesk may be the better fit

If you want to see exactly what goes into every dispute, keep costs flat no matter how many you win, and stay in control of how your evidence is framed, DisputeDesk gives you a Shopify-native evidence workspace built around your own order data.

05 · The money

Your cost as you grow

Same store, growing month over month. Watch what each pricing model does to your bill as recovered revenue climbs.

The Shopify dispute workflow, in three steps

01

Connect your store

DisputeDesk installs natively on Shopify and reads your orders, fulfillment and payment data automatically — no manual exports.

02

Build the evidence dossier

03

Review and submit

You see the complete dossier, decide which disputes are worth fighting, and submit with confidence — fully in control.

07 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is DisputeDesk a good Riskified alternative?

DisputeDesk is built for Shopify merchants who want a hands-on evidence workspace rather than a fully outsourced service. You get guided evidence dossiers, full visibility into every submission and flat pricing — a strong fit if predictability and control matter more to you than total automation.

Does DisputeDesk charge a success fee like Riskified?

No. DisputeDesk uses flat monthly plans starting free. You pay the same whether you win two disputes or twenty, so a strong recovery month never turns into a surprise invoice.

Can I move my dispute workflow from Riskified to DisputeDesk?

Yes. DisputeDesk installs natively on Shopify and reads your order, fulfillment and payment data automatically, so you can build evidence dossiers from day one without migrating anything manually.

Does DisputeDesk work with Shopify Payments?

Yes. DisputeDesk is Shopify-native and pulls order confirmation, AVS/CVV results, tracking and purchase history straight from your store to assemble each evidence package.

Will I still control what evidence gets submitted?

Always. Unlike fully automated tools, DisputeDesk shows you the complete dossier before anything is submitted, so you decide which disputes to fight and how the evidence is framed.
