# Accept Dispute

GET https://global-api-sandbox.afterpay.com/v2/disputes/{dispute_id}/accept

Merchants can call this endpoint to accept a dispute case. The endpoint only works if the dispute is in a non-terminal state (the status is not `won` or `lost`).

> **Note:** Calling the API changes the dispute status to lost.
