 * My client is reporting some customers get the following message when trying to
   purchase the linked product: ITEM_TOTAL_MISMATCH Should equal sum of unit_amount*
   quantity) across all items for a given purchase_unit
 * I can’t replicate the issue and at times, orders for the product go through. 
   Unfortunately, this has been a recurring issue. Other products work fine. Any
   ideas?

 * Hi [@oldpixelpusher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oldpixelpusher/),
 * Did your customers provide information at what point and what steps they took
   before receiving that error message? It sounds like this is coming from PayPal
   and the two PayPal plugins I can see installed on your site are these ones:
 *     ```
       WooCommerce PayPal Payments: by WooCommerce – 1.7.1
       WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Gateway: by WooCommerce – 2.1.3
       ```
   
 * Make sure you enable only one of those in order to collect payments through PayPal.
   In case the problem recurs and there are further reports I would suggest reaching
   out to us on this forum:
 * – WooCommerce PayPal Payments: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-paypal-payments/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-paypal-payments/).
 * Just so you know, this forum is specific for the WooCommerce core plugin.
 * Cheers.

 * Thanks for the response Mirko. I was able to replicate the problem tonight. I
   only have the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin activated.
 * More info…after billing details are provided and you click a payment method (
   PayPal, Venmo, or Debit or Credit Card), then the message appears. It’s only 
   this product…unfortunately it is one of my client’s best sellers. We’ve recreated
   the product and that didn’t even work.
 * I did find if you add another item in the cart with the troublesome item, it 
   seems to work. The whole thing is strange. If you have any other suggestions,
   please let me know. I will reach out to the other recommended forum.

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for sharing these additional details.
 * As a general recommendation, you can update the version of your WordPress, you
   can follow the instructions in this [tutorial](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/ultimate-guide-to-upgrade-wordpress-for-beginners-infograph/)
   to do so.
 * Since the issue is being handled in this forum thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/item_total_mismatch-error-message-2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/item_total_mismatch-error-message-2/)
 * I’m going to mark this one as resolved, be sure to open a new thread if you have
   any other questions.
 * Best.
