Why did an order place on Shopify despite failed payment?

[plushcare]

Hi, 

A particular customer had placed an order wherein their payment status was failed but then the order was placed. 
In this case, shopify shouldn't have placed the order, as the payment for the particular failed. Now we don't know if this is the first time this has happened or this has happened before.

Please help.
