Export for a reviewer, not for your database

  1. 01
    Filter to this order

    Do not submit a raw account dump. Isolate the disputed payment and the account or email it created.

  2. 02
    Put timestamps in one timezone

    Label the timezone and keep payment, delivery, login, download, and support events in chronological order.

  3. 03
    Explain each event in plain English

    A reviewer should know what a license activation or lesson view means without knowing your product internals.

  4. 04
    Redact unrelated customer data

    Remove other users, secrets, tokens, and internal notes. Keep enough context to connect the event to the disputed transaction.

Match the chain to the reason

For a not-received claim, lead with delivery and access. For an unauthorized claim, add the authorization signals and account history that your processor requests. The digital delivery evidence guide explains the individual records; the reason guide explains how to frame them.

If the log is incomplete

Say what the system actually records. A delivery email plus an account match may be useful even if no download event exists. A missing event is better than an invented one, and a narrow packet is easier to evaluate than a confident story the records do not support.
