Direct answer: use the current product page and basket for the payable amount. The final total should show the selected quantity, any verified price adjustment and the delivery charge before an order is placed.
Do not rely on an old price
Search snippets, screenshots and articles can outlive a price change. The live WooCommerce amount is the store source of truth. A crossed-out reference price should appear only when it represents a genuine previous selling price.
How VAT and Tobacco Duty appear
GOV.UK states that tobacco products carry standard-rate VAT at 20% and that Tobacco Duty is included in the price paid. For a catalogue aimed at the general public, any VAT due is normally included in the displayed price rather than added as an unexplained charge at payment.
Compare the same quantity
A lower headline amount is not a valid comparison when pack count or pouch weight differs. Confirm the exact selected option and quantity first.
Review the basket total
The basket should state the subtotal, delivery charge and final total in pounds sterling. If a value is unclear, stop and use the Contact page before payment.
