Why is my purchase marked as a "recurring payment"?

Sometimes payments show up on people’s bank account statements as “recurring” when they are in fact not. This is what Stripe, our payment processor has to say about it:

This is expected behavior: this "recurring" designation is necessary to save your customer's payment information for future use without re-entering their CVC code each time. The "recurring" flag does not necessarily indicate the customer is subscribed to a recurring billing plan, only that the card was saved for future charges.
