Stripe obviously records data around friendly fraud, (At minimum they implement Visa Compelling Evidence 3.0 https://support.stripe.com/questions/how-does-stripe-support... ) and since you did not include screenshots of the messages sent by Stripe support I suspect they were saying something carefully noncommittal and legally compliant to get you to go away, which then got spun into an outraged blog post.

That link says the customer's undisputed transactions 4 - 12 months ago with you may establish their disputed transaction was actually legitimate, but the article is about someone who only made disputed purchases within a week or two.

Then what are the better alternatives?

Nothing, it’s a 5% bobcat problem. The card processors can force the merchants to eat it and there’s nothing you can do save not accepting cards, which loses you the other 95% of the market.

What's your point? Do you think it matters what stripe said? What is something that they could've said that wouldn't have justified the outraged blog post?

The author thinks it matters what Stripe said, since they chose to use it as the title for their blog post. To the extent that it was just meant to be a lament that it's hard to be a small online merchant in an era of strong consumer protections, sure, I sympathize. But they seem to think it's a problem with Stripe that could be fixed if Stripe behaved better.

I run a saas and we get this every now and then.

As a rule of thumb, when you get a chargeback you need to completely ban the customer from your db. This includes:

- card ban - email address ban - fingerprint their access and ban

This will save you a lot of hassle when they try to signup/buy your product again and cause you the same amount of grief.
