Yes — but with an important caveat: most invoicing tools handle invoicing and refunds well, while “chargeback workflows” are usually handled by the payment processor or marketplace platform, not the invoicing app itself.

For a services marketplace, you typically need three pieces:

  1. Invoicing / billing
    Create invoices, credit notes, partial refunds, taxes, and payouts.

  2. Marketplace payment handling
    Split payments between platform and providers, manage escrow/holds, and support connected accounts.

  3. Chargeback/dispute management
    Receive dispute alerts, submit evidence, track case status, and reverse payouts if needed.

Software that can help

1. Stripe Billing + Stripe Connect

Best fit if you want a programmable marketplace setup.

  • Supports invoices, subscriptions, one-off charges
  • Refunds and partial refunds
  • Chargeback/dispute handling
  • Marketplace-style payouts via Stripe Connect
  • Can automate many refund and dispute workflows with webhooks

Good for: SaaS-like service marketplaces, platforms with developers
Limitation: You’ll likely need custom logic for refund policies and provider settlement reversals


2. Adyen for Platforms

Strong enterprise marketplace and payments setup.

  • Marketplace split payments
  • Refunds, chargebacks, risk tools
  • Dispute workflows
  • Better for larger/global platforms

Good for: Larger marketplaces with complex payments
Limitation: More enterprise-oriented; invoicing may not be as simple as dedicated invoicing tools


3. PayPal Commerce Platform

Can work for smaller marketplaces.

  • Refunds and dispute handling
  • Marketplace/partner payouts
  • Familiar to many users

Good for: Smaller or consumer-facing marketplaces
Limitation: Less flexible than Stripe for advanced workflow automation


4. Chargebee / Recurly / Zoho Billing

These are billing/invoicing tools first, but they integrate with payment processors.

  • Invoicing, credit notes, dunning
  • Refunds
  • Some dispute/chargeback visibility via integrations
  • Good accounting and tax support

Good for: Recurring service billing or subscription marketplaces
Limitation: Not full marketplace chargeback management by themselves


5. QuickBooks / Xero + payment integrations

Useful for accounting and invoicing, but not chargeback workflow management.

  • Invoices and credit memos
  • Refund tracking
  • Accounting reconciliation

Good for: Back-office bookkeeping
Limitation: Not ideal as the primary system for marketplace chargeback handling


What to look for specifically

If your marketplace needs to handle chargebacks and refunds cleanly, look for:

  • Partial refunds
  • Credit notes / refund invoices
  • Dispute webhooks or notifications
  • Marketplace payouts / connected accounts
  • Automated reversal of provider earnings
  • Evidence submission workflow
  • Audit trail
  • Tax-aware refund handling
  • Escrow or delayed settlement

Practical recommendation

If you’re building a services marketplace, the most common stack is:

  • Stripe Connect for payments, refunds, disputes, payouts
  • Stripe Billing or another invoicing layer for invoices
  • Your app logic for marketplace-specific refund/chargeback rules

If you want, I can also give you:

  • a shortlist by business size (startup vs enterprise),
  • a comparison table, or
  • recommendations based on your exact marketplace model (one-time services, subscriptions, escrow, split payouts, etc.).
