Side by side
Compare the workflows.
| Merchant decision | PalSync | Chargeback.io |
|---|---|---|
| When it acts | Tracking begins with fulfillment. A later PayPal case is a separate merchant workflow. | Its listing describes alerts about an incoming dispute and a refund before it progresses to a formal chargeback. |
| Who controls money | A tracking update is not a refund. PayPal case actions remain merchant-approved. | The listing describes automatic refunds. Ask how you set eligibility, exceptions and refund authority. |
| Possible overlap | Order-based tracking plans do not bill a percentage of a dispute outcome. | The app lists per-alert charges and warns against overlapping chargeback-alert services. |
Before you choose
Write down the refund rule.
- Take a hypothetical order with confirmed delivery. Mark the moment an alert arrives separately from the moment a PayPal case is open.
- Ask which network or processor covers the payment, what triggers a charge and exactly when a refund would be made.
- Assign ownership of refunds and case responses. Check for overlapping alert providers before enabling anything on live orders.
