The distinction that governs this whole category is between an inquiry and a chargeback. On an inquiry, Shopify says the bank does not take the disputed amount or a fee right away. Once it becomes a chargeback, the bank takes the money immediately and charges a fee, you have a short window to build a response, and the review can run for months. Everything sold here is an attempt to act in the first stage rather than the second, which is why Shopify's own dispute object has a status meaning a dispute that was prevented from becoming a formal chargeback.

Two native things narrow the gap and neither closes it. Shopify Protect covers fraud-based chargebacks, and its own page limits it to stores in the United States using Shopify Payments with Shop Pay, with fulfillment and tracking conditions attached, which leaves every other dispute reason and every merchant outside that setup. And Shopify runs a network dispute resolution program that resolves disputes automatically before they become chargebacks, with no evidence submission window, but it is applied to merchants whose chargeback rate crosses a threshold and comes with a payout reserve. It is a consequence, not a feature you enable.

What to look for in a Charge app

Prevent, alert or fight: Three different products share this keyword. Blocking risky orders before they ship, catching a dispute at the inquiry stage and refunding it, and assembling evidence to contest a filed chargeback. Most listings do two of the three, and the one you need depends on where your losses actually occur.
Which processors it covers: If you take money through more than one gateway, an app that only sees Shopify Payments will miss part of the problem. Every serious listing here names the processors it connects to, so match that list against yours.
Automatic refunds, and their cost: Refunding at the alert stage avoids a fee and a black mark, and it also gives money back on orders you might have won. Ask what rules govern it, whether there is a value ceiling, and whether you can review before it fires.
Who writes the evidence: Representment is only as good as the package submitted. Ask what is gathered automatically, tracking, delivery confirmation, customer communications, and how much a person still has to write within the response window.
What is not covered: Fraud is one dispute reason among many. Item not received, item not as described and cancelled subscriptions behave differently and are usually where volume actually comes from. Ask how the app handles those rather than how well it does on fraud.

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
