stripe statement descriptor chargebacks unrecognized
The actual problem
Unclear bank descriptors drive “unrecognized charge” disputes that were otherwise valid sales.
Do this
- Settings → Public details / statement descriptor: use recognizable brand + product hint.
- Keep soft descriptor consistent across Checkout and invoices.
- Add a support phone/URL customers see on statements where supported.
- Compare dispute reasons 30 days before/after the descriptor change.
