You can update your database from **WooCommerce **→ **Tools **→ `Update Database` then try resyncing your data from Square to WooCommerce from the WooCommerce settings page, under the Square settings. This might take a while depending on the number of products you have. * I hope this helps! Let us know how it goes. * Thread Starter [Jim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsheward/) * (@jsheward) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version_mismatch-error/#post-17217337) * Hi Darla, * Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately this did not work. * I discovered that the issue was caused because I created a staging site, which also sync’d to square. The versions therefore updated against the staging site, and when I returned to the live version of the site, there was a version mismatch. * I corrected this by deleting all the square meta data from the products, essentially indicating to square that these were all new products, and then deleting the catalogue in the square store. So essentially I started over and re-uploaded the entire store. Not sure if there was a simpler solution? * [xue28 (woo-hc)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xue28/) * (@xue28) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version_mismatch-error/#post-17217685) * Hi [@jsheward](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsheward/) * > I discovered that the issue was caused because I created a staging site, which > also sync’d to square.

Not sure if there was a simpler solution? * Your solution to the issue is actually one of the recommended ways to resolve such conflicts. Resetting the data and starting from scratch helps in eliminating any discrepancies that may have arisen due to version mismatch between the staging and live site. * However, for future reference, a simpler solution could be to ensure that your staging site is not synced to Square or any other live platform. This way, any changes or updates you make on the staging site won’t affect your live site. * Hope this helps!
