How the math works

Three providers, three different clocks


Buy-now-pay-later looks like one product, but Klarna, Affirm and Afterpay each publish their own dispute window counted from the purchase date — and the windows are not the same. The checker above applies the right one to your date and tells you exactly where you stand.

How a BNPL dispute differs from a card chargeback

A card chargeback runs under card-network rules that can force money back from the merchant. A BNPL dispute is the provider's own internal review: Klarna, Affirm or Afterpay decides, on its own evidence rules and timelines. There is no network forcing the outcome, so treat the provider's published terms as the rulebook — and screenshot them before you file, because terms change.

Don't forget the clock behind the BNPL

If a credit or debit card funded your BNPL payments, your card issuer has a separate dispute process under the card network's rules — typically up to about 120 days from the transaction, plus the US 60-day written-notice rule (FCBA / Regulation E). That clock can be shorter or longer than the provider's window. Check both with the deadline calculator, act on the earlier one, and file on one path at a time — double recovery is not allowed.
