Chargeback Data Members

The Chargeback object encapsulates information on a chargeback: the amount, date, reference number, and, most importantly, status. The following table lists and describes the data members of the Chargeback object.

Data Members	Data Type	Description
`amount`	decimal	This chargeback’s settlement amount, which usually matches the amount of the original transaction. In some cases, customers charge back only part of a transaction. (Vindicia does not provide information on the items that are charged back.) Note: Given exchange-rate fluctuations, transactions across currencies might be charged back at amounts that differ from the original amounts.
`caseNumber`	string	Your bank’s case number for this Chargeback object, if any.
`currency`	string	The ISO 4217 currency code (see www.xe.com/iso4217.htm\) of this `Chargeback` object. This currency applies to the settlement amount (see the `amount` attribute). The default is USD.
`divisionNumber`	string	The number of your division or group your payment processor used when processing the original Transaction. Chase Paymentech refers to this number as the Division Number; Litle calls it the Report Group; MeS calls it the Profile ID.
`merchantNumber`	string	Your bank’s merchant number, which identifies you as the merchant.
`merchantTransactionId`	string	Your unique identifier for the transaction associated with this `Chargeback` object. If Subscribe generated the transaction, for example, for a recurring bill, Subscribe created this ID for you when processing the transaction with your payment processor. If you did not process the transaction through Subscribe, but only reported it to Vindicia, then this ID must match the order number you used when processing the transaction with your payment processor.
`merchantTransactionTimestamp`	`dateTime`	A time stamp that specifies the date and time when the original transaction occurred.
`merchantUserId`	string	Your unique identifier for the account of the customer who conducted the original transaction. See the `merchantAccountId` attribute of the `Account` object in Account Data Members.
`nameValues`	`NameValuePair[]`	Optional. An array of name–value pairs for the `Chargeback` object. See The NameValuePair Object.
`note`	string	Notes on the Chargeback object. Vindicia personnel might make entries here during the dispute process.
`postedTimestamp`	`dateTime`	A time stamp that specifies the date and time when the chargeback was posted in the Vindicia database. The difference in time between the chargeback, and this posted time stamp, will depend on the frequency at which Vindicia downloads chargebacks from your bank or payment processor.
`presentmentAmount`	decimal	The amount charged back (in the presentment currency), which usually matches the amount of the original transaction. Specify this attribute if the original transaction was processed with Chase Paymentech in a currency other than USD.
`presentmentCurrency`	string	The ISO 4217 currency code (see www.xe.com/iso4217.htm\) of this transaction at presentment. The default is USD.
`processorReceivedTimestamp`	`dateTime`	A time stamp that specifies the date and time when your bank received the chargeback from the customer.
`reasonCode`	string	The reason code reported by your bank for this `Chargeback` object. Reason codes vary from bank to bank.
`referenceNumber`	string	Your bank’s reference number for this `Chargeback` object, if any.
`status`	`ChargebackStatus`	The current chargeback status in ChargeGuard. A chargeback goes through a life cycle as Vindicia disputes the chargeback on your behalf. See the Table 1.
`statusChangedTimestamp`	`dateTime`	A time stamp that specifies the date and time for the last status change.
`VID`	string	Vindicia’s Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) for this object. When creating a new `Chargeback` object, leave this field blank; it will be automatically populated by Subscribe.
