SettledScheduled - The money has been received and is in the queue to get paid out. Adyen does daily payouts from Monday to Friday. Weekend sales are paid out the following Monday.
Refused - To know more about a refusal, open the transaction and take a look at the refusal code found under Processing - Acquirer response.

Pro tip:
3D secure is an automated bank check performed by the bank. This is to verify that the holder of the card is the one trying to make the payment. Most refusals are caused by this. If it happens, the customer will either have to retry or get in touch with their bank.
