Refund & Dispute Policy
Last updated: 24 April 2026
TL;DR: as a cardholder you may request a refund or raise a chargeback for unauthorised, incorrect or undelivered orders within 180 days of the transaction. Merchants are expected to acknowledge cardholder refund requests within 24 hours and resolve them within 7 days.
1. Scope
This policy applies to every transaction processed through the GoosunPay platform (operated by YOUNG BIZ SDN. BHD.), across every integrated channel — Stripe, iPay88, Adyen, Coinbase Commerce and others.
2. How to initiate a refund
2.1 Cardholder / end customer
- First contact the merchant that sold to you and ask them to initiate the refund;
- If the merchant is unresponsive: contact GoosunPay support at [email protected]. We will intervene within 3 business days;
- Last resort: raise a chargeback with your issuing bank.
2.2 Merchant-initiated refund
- Sign in to the merchant console at
https://goosunpay.com/merchant/orders; - Locate the target order and click "Refund";
- Select full or partial refund and provide a reason;
- The system initiates the reverse transfer via the Stripe / PSP API automatically.
3. Refund timing
| Payment method | Processing time | Funds arrival |
|---|---|---|
| International cards (Visa / Mastercard / AMEX) | Instant | 5–10 business days |
| FPX / Boost / TnG / GrabPay (Malaysia) | Instant | 3–7 business days |
| Crypto (USDT / USDC / BTC) | Manual review (on-chain is irreversible) | As fast as 10 minutes, subject to confirmations |
| Apple Pay / Google Pay | Instant | 5–10 business days |
4. Refund eligibility
4.1 Eligible for a full refund
- The merchant failed to deliver the promised goods or service;
- The goods / service materially differ from what was described;
- The order is fraudulent or was not authorised;
- Duplicate charges or technical error;
- Quality defects within the merchant's reasonable return window.
4.2 Generally not refundable
- Virtual / digital goods already delivered and used;
- Services already performed in full;
- Custom-made goods produced to the customer's specification;
- Promotional items clearly marked "non-refundable";
- Past the merchant's stated refund window (typically 30 / 60 / 90 days).
5. Handling of fees on refunds
When a refund is initiated, PSP channel fees are handled as follows:
- Stripe: fees are not refunded (Stripe's standard policy since September 2017);
- iPay88: depends on transaction age and refund amount, typically not refunded;
- Coinbase Commerce: a 1% fee applies per original transaction rate.
The platform service fee is refunded proportionally to the merchant account.
6. Chargeback workflow
If the cardholder raises a chargeback with the issuer, the merchant must submit representment within 7 days through the console — otherwise the chargeback is accepted:
- Order screenshots, shipping records, tracking numbers;
- Proof of delivery (if applicable);
- Communication logs between customer and merchant;
- Proof of delivery for digital goods — login logs, activation records;
- IP, device fingerprint, 3DS results and other fraud signals.
Chargeback fees:
- Stripe: US$15 per case;
- iPay88: MYR 50 per case;
- Successful representment — the fee is refunded to the merchant.
7. High-risk merchant restrictions
If a merchant's chargeback ratio exceeds 1% for three consecutive months, the platform will:
- Increase the rolling reserve (from 5% up to 20%);
- Lower per-transaction limits;
- In severe cases, suspend or terminate service.
8. Dispute escalation
If the cardholder is unsatisfied with the refund outcome, the escalation path is:
- Contact GoosunPay compliance: [email protected];
- Raise a chargeback with your issuing bank;
- File with the Tribunal for Consumer Claims (TTPM), Malaysia;
- Report to Bank Negara Malaysia's payment-systems unit.
