So I might have come up with a work-around solution
- Exported my Square library as a backup
- Created a second copy of this library that was empty
- Imported this empty library (choosing to replace items), thereby deleting all of my products in Square
- Did a manual sync to re-populate my Square library
Did tests to make sure Square and my website are communicating properly (add new products, do test purchases) and everything appears to be working as normal again.
However, I had some products in Square that are NOT on my website that I will have to replace manually as they were not re-created with the sync (obviously).
So, while sync appears to be working properly now, this database “mismatch” error is still concerning. Assuming this was caused by a Woo database update? What happens next time the Woocommerce database is updated?
Hi there @refine-graphics,
Thank you for such a detailed description of the issue!
We did see the same issue reported before and our developers plan to release a fix in the 2.0.6 version on Square.
The issue arises when a category is being updated on Square end (renamed etc). Did you edit your Square categories before the issue started?
We have also found a temporary workaround – to delete the wc_square_category_map option from a database:

After it’s deleted, please initiate another manual sync. Please create a full backup of your database before editing it.
We would expect the problem to come back every time a category is updated in Square (if it has been previously synced to WooCommerce) so the workaround would need to be repeated every time a category is updated in Square, until an official fix is released.
Hope that helps. Cheers!
Thanks for your response, Elvira š
I did some asking around and sound like someone was messing around with the category names on the Square account.
Now we know NOT to mess with this.
Since erasing our Square item library + manually re-syncing, everything appears to be fine as the category names match on both ends. But will keep your solution bookmarked just in case.
Thanks again!
Hi there @refine-graphics,

Oh, that explains it then š
Since erasing our Square item library + manually re-syncing, everything appears to be fine as the category names match on both ends. But will keep your solution bookmarked just in case.
We also hope to release a fix for it soon. You can keep an eye on the Square changelog file to check which bug fixes are included to a new version – https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-square/#developers
Meanwhile, I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

This is marked as resolved however I’m on version 2.0.6 and still experiencing the bug.
My error logs show: [VERSION_MISMATCH] Object version does not match latest database version.
Hi there @austriker27 and @cmcjenkin,
You’re right, the fix was planned to be included to the 2.0.6 release but it wasn’t.
At the moment, we don’t have an ETA for it, so the best way to check if it’s included to the latest update would be to follow the changelog: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-square/#developers
In the meantime, please do try the workaround which I suggested above and refrain from editing categories in Square if possible.
Cheers!
Elvira,
Could you please expound more on this “workaround?”
Where exactly is this database that needs to be edited?
Please walk me threw this, I have a shop that I cannot add almost half of my products. The categories were edited by another user recently.
Thanks
@masterleader
Try reading this article to learn more about yourWordPress database
Further to Elvira’s instructions, the wc_square_category_map option is found in the wp_options part of the database. The screenshot above shows you the search terms you can use to find it, or you can browse through the table until you find the row called wc_square_category_map (although this may take a while).
Remember to backup your database (export the whole thing) before making any changes!
Hope this helps.
Hi there @masterleader,
My colleague has created a plugin which would empty the wc_square_category_map option, you can download it here – https://cld.wthms.co/qcqAJR
After the plugin is enabled, run Fix Square version mismatch tool WooCommerce > Status > Tools. Please do create a full backup of your site first to avoid any issues.
After this tool is run, you can initiate another manual sync and those products with issues before should sync as expected. The plugin is just a temporary solution. Hopefully, we’ll see a permanent fix released soon.
Also, kudos to @refine-graphics for chiming in š
Cheers!
The link for the plugin to empty the wc_square_category_map entry has expired, is it possible to host this again as I am having the same issue.
Thank you,
Rich
