# Disputes

As a merchant, it can happen that a customer disputes a payment (in rare cases only part of a payment) with his bank and thus opens a dispute against you.

This article addresses disputes within [Payrexx Pay](/merchant/english/payment-provider/payrexx-pay.md) and [Payrexx Pay Plus](/merchant/english/payment-provider/payrexx-pay.md). You will learn what disputes are and how to avoid them. Should a dispute arise, we will show you how to maximize your chances of winning the dispute.

Our documentation on disputes consists of the following chapters:
