When using the Disputes Management API calls, it is important to be aware of the distinction between the lenderDisputeId (the dispute id generated by the lender) and the id (the dispute id generated by ChargeAfter).

How to Distinguish between Dispute ids in Requests

All calls to manage disputes (except for the initial creation of a dispute), require the id parameter.

Either the lenderDisputeId or the dispute id generated by ChargeAfter can be used.

If you use the lenderDisputeId, you must also send the useLenderDisputeId parameter with the value of true.

Returned ids for the create, resolve, and reverse calls

When you create a dispute, the string that is returned in the 201 response is the ChargeAfter dispute id.

When you resolve or reverse a dispute, the string that is returned in the 200 response is the ChargeAfterTransactionId.
