Understand how Fanvue chargebacks differ from refunds, how they affect creator earnings and what records help when a disputed payment appears.
A chargeback is initiated through the fan’s bank
Unlike a normal refund handled by the platform, a chargeback is a card or payment dispute raised through the financial provider.
Chargebacks can reverse creator earnings
Fanvue’s current guidance explains that the disputed amount can be reversed from creator earnings and shown as a chargeback line item in the earnings area.
Keep transaction context
Save relevant messages, delivery information and transaction details for high-value custom or PPV sales. Good records help you understand what happened even when the platform handles the formal dispute process.
Do not confuse every refund with fraud
Refunds, technical reversals and chargebacks are different events. Review the label and transaction history before deciding what action to take with the user.
Best Creators tip
Track your chargeback rate over time. A sudden increase can indicate unclear offer descriptions, payment misunderstandings or a traffic source bringing low-quality buyers.
