Wishgain actively protects creators against chargebacks and fraudulent payment reversals. We understand that disputes can be damaging, so prevention and protection are built into our system from day one.

Our infrastructure works closely with Stripe’s advanced fraud and dispute prevention systems to reduce risk before issues occur.


πŸ”’ How Wishgain Protects You

  • Continuous monitoring of suspicious activity

  • Automated fraud detection and risk scoring

  • Stripe-powered dispute prevention and evidence submission

  • Clear and transparent transaction records for every payment

If a dispute does occur, Wishgain ensures creators are not left alone. We focus on prevention, strong documentation, and transparent communication to protect users from unfair penalties. While no payment system can eliminate disputes entirely, Wishgain is designed to minimize chargebacks and protect creators as strongly as possible.


❓ What Happens If a Fan Issues a Chargeback?

If a fan files a chargeback, Wishgain immediately contacts them to gather details. We then submit transaction evidence to our payment processor. In most cases, disputes are resolved directly through the bank using the submitted documentation.

If needed, we work toward an amicable resolution between the creator and the fan, depending on the individual case.


🚨 If the Chargeback Is Due to Fraud

If the transaction involved fraud (for example, a stolen credit card):

  • Recovery of funds is often not possible

  • Fraudulent charges are reported to authorities

  • Funds are returned to the original cardholder

  • The payment processor blocks the card to prevent further misuse


🎁 What Happens to Gifts During a Chargeback?

If a chargeback occurs on a gift purchase:

  • The item is immediately placed on hold

  • The purchase cannot be completed until the dispute is resolved

If the chargeback is confirmed as fraud, the purchase cannot proceed, as the transaction was unauthorized.


πŸ’° What Happens to My Wishgain Balance?

If a chargeback is confirmed as fraudulent (e.g., stolen card or illegal payment method):

  • The related funds must be removed from your Wishgain balance

This is required by payment processing regulations and card network rules.


⚠️ Can I Ask a Fan to Issue a Chargeback?

No. Under no circumstances should creators encourage fans to file chargebacks.

Users who advise fans to issue chargebacks risk:

  • Account freezing

  • Suspension or permanent removal from the platform

Chargebacks should only be initiated in legitimate cases through proper banking channels β€” never as a workaround.
