When a customer files a dispute with Klarna, Klarna collects relevant evidence and conducts an initial validation of the claim. If the dispute is deemed valid at this stage, Klarna initiates the dispute process with the partner. Klarna charges the dispute fee when a dispute is decided against the partner. The fee currency is determined by the settlement currency configured by the partner within Klarna.
