• Incorrect CVC code
• Insufficient funds
• Incorrect zip code

If you were shown an error screen like below, what you are most likely seeing on your statement is an "authorization". Authorizations are when a payment processor attempts to charge your card, but wasn't able to due to various reasons. Authorizations typically fall off your statement within a few hours and is not considered a "charge". We recommend waiting a day or so and then seeing if it's fallen off your statement.
