Found on the Activity page, the disputes tab will allow you to initiate and resolve disputes on bookings sent through iGo integration for fund requests to or from operators.
Note: This is to be used on aggregators who pay into the iGo Wallet for completed work, it is not to be used on aggregators who run through invoicing.
This feature will typically be used for refund / charge requests which come from operators, you're also able to dispute bookings yourself and request funds from operators too. Once the dispute is reviewed and approved, the requested amount will then be automatically moved between iGo Wallets.
It is also a way to send messages to the operator in relation to a job, and to see messages the operator may have sent too. Additionally, you'll be able to escalate the dispute directly to iGo support.
Handling a Dispute.
As both aggregators and operators can create disputes & refund requests, both sides can naturally approve or reject these requests based on the initiator.
If you've received a refund request from an operator, please view these on your Activity > Disputes tab, double click to view the details and approve or reject the requests from the chat notification box.
If you're approving the request, the specified amount will be transferred between wallets.
So, if you're approving a request sent by an operator, the specified amount will be taken from your wallet and passed to theirs upon approval.
If you're rejecting the request, it will be cancelled, you're able to specify a reason why; the initiator will then have to trigger a new request.
