I just received an order, low risk, payment captured by visa through shop pay. However, the customer contacted me saying she needed to provide a different credit card, that the one that populated through had been cancelled and replaced.

Why would her number have been accepted and how can I change the payment method now? If it is added to my next payout, will it be charged back later?
