Steps
Identify disputes filed under Mastercard's no-cardholder-authorization fraud reason code as second-presentment candidates
Assemble Mastercard's required evidence: AVS/CVV match results, IP address, device fingerprinting data, and delivery confirmation, mirroring but distinct in format from Visa's CE3.0 package
For agent-initiated purchases, retain the specific agent-token or Agentic Token identifier used for the transaction so you can prove it was correctly scoped and issued to an authenticated agent session
Submit the evidence package as a second presentment through your acquirer within Mastercard's response window, which is time-boxed similarly to Visa's process but follows Mastercard's own rules and terminology
Track and route already-lost or ineligible disputes (e.g. missing evidence) away from the automated path to avoid wasting processing on unwinnable cases
Maintain a running success-rate dashboard by evidence type to prioritize which signals to invest in capturing more reliably
Known gotchas
Visa and Mastercard use different terminology and evidence formats for what is conceptually the same process ('dispute response' vs 'second presentment') -- don't reuse one network's evidence package format for the other unmodified
Acquirers typically charge a per-dispute fee regardless of outcome, so blanket-automating representment on every dispute without a minimum evidence-completeness bar can be a net loss
Reason-code definitions and evidence requirements are set by the network and can change; verify current requirements before hardcoding a fixed evidence checklist
