Get Notified Before Payment Disputes Escalate

Payment disputes don’t start as chargebacks, they start as customer issues. The problem is, most merchants never see them early enough to act.


PDS Council connects your business to dispute signals across the payments ecosystem, giving you the opportunity to refund or resolve issues before they escalate into chargebacks, fees, and lost revenue. Accreditation is free and takes minutes to get started.
