Chargeback automation for Shopify and Stripe merchants

Protect margin before disputes become manual chaos.

MarginPilot helps ecommerce operators cut manual dispute work, protect response deadlines, and connect recovery actions to auditable billing events.

No guaranteed win-rate claims. No decorative AI hype. Start with a risk-scan workflow your team can actually verify.

Product preview

See the workflow before you commit to a rollout call.

MarginPilot is not a vague analytics shell. The workspace centers on case priority, explainable decision cards, net recovery tracking, and a billing ledger that finance can audit.

  • Case Queue ranks live disputes by deadline pressure and recovery value.
  • Decision Cards explain why a case should be fought, refunded, or manually reviewed.
  • Connected Shopify workspaces can scan recent live orders for explainable prevention risk signals.
  • Net Recovery Board keeps merchants focused on margin, not vanity win-rate.
  • Billing Ledger maps subscription and event fees back to operational records.

Manual prep drains team bandwidth

Operators spend hours collecting evidence while deadlines and workload keep compounding.

Win-rate alone can hide margin loss

What matters is net recovery after fees, alerts, and operational effort.

Policy shifts move faster than playbooks

Without rule-version tracking, teams react late and increase monitoring risk.

Who this is for

Built for teams that need operating leverage, not another dashboard.

Lean ops teams

Reduce the hours spent collecting evidence, checking deadlines, and moving disputes across disconnected spreadsheets.

Finance-minded founders

Track net recovery instead of vanity win-rate so margin decisions stay tied to fees, workload, and alert risk.

Shopify and Stripe merchants

Start with a risk scan, then move into controlled provider auth and billing only when the workflow is ready.

Provider fit

Choose the provider path that matches your stack.

Mechanism

How MarginPilot turns dispute ops into a measurable workflow

Ingest

Connect Shopify and Stripe events, then normalize every dispute into a single case model.

Decide

Decision Cards recommend Fight, Refund, or Manual Review and explain exactly why.

Execute

Generate evidence bundles, protect response deadlines, and keep every action traceable.

Measure

Track net recovery, case activity, and clear subscription status in one dashboard.

Proof

What a merchant can verify before trusting the workflow

Explainable recommendations

Decision Cards show why a case should be fought, refunded, or manually reviewed before action is taken.

Auditable billing

Subscription state, checkout actions, and billing readiness stay visible before activation.

Activation gate

Ops activation stays blocked until auth and billing readiness are both present in the system of record.

Human override

Teams keep operational control instead of accepting an opaque black-box action engine.

Trust assets

Review the launch and trust evidence before setup.

Trust Center

Open the full set of public review pages before moving into setup, procurement, or internal approval.

ROI model

Model the manual-work cost hiding inside dispute ops

Give visitors a fast way to quantify analyst time, manual workload cost, and the recovery lift worth validating before they commit to a deeper rollout.

Manual analyst hours / month60h

Based on 80 disputes at 45 minutes each.

Manual ops cost / month$1,920

Directional workload cost at $32 per analyst hour.

Modeled recovery swing / month$960

Modeled from 35% to 45% recovery at $120 average dispute amount.

Suggested starting planGrowth

Best for roughly 40 to 200 disputes per month.

  • This model is directional and uses only the assumptions you enter here.
  • Manual workload and recovery improvement should be validated separately during qualification.
  • No savings, win-rate, or recovery outcome is guaranteed by this estimate.

The handoff keeps provider, plan, primary goal, and modeled dispute volume in the next-step form so the conversation starts with your current economics instead of a blank intake.

Objections

Common buying questions, answered without hand-waving.

Do we need live credentials to start evaluating fit?

No. The first risk-scan flow focuses on business context, volume, and provider selection before live auth and billing proof are required.

Is this optimized only for win-rate?

No. MarginPilot is designed around net recovery, workload, and operational trust rather than headline win-rate claims.

Will my team lose control over dispute actions?

No. Human override and auditability remain first-class so operators can review, approve, or stop actions when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Do you guarantee win-rate?

No. We improve process quality and optimize net recovery with transparent recommendations.

How is billing calculated?

Monthly plan pricing, renewal timing, and billing-policy links stay visible before checkout.

Can my team override recommendations?

Yes. Human override is available and recorded in audit logs.
