Card verification is the process of validating a card to ensure that the card number provided is tied to a valid bank account, can be charged, and can be vaulted. This issue occurs while testing out a test card on a live checkout. The validation on the Live site happens via the payment gateway, hence the error will be an invalid card. However, in the case when your customer enters an actual card number with insufficient funds, it will show-up an actual error message as per the card validation and payment gateway.
