WooCommerce Tax
500,000+ active installs · Rated 2.0/5 · Updated October 14, 2026
Calculates sales tax automatically at WooCommerce checkout by city, state and country, using TaxJar-based rates. Tax requests are routed through WooCommerce's service, so the site needs a WordPress.com connection through Jetpack. Shipping features have moved to WooCommerce Shipping, so the shipping and label code here is legacy. It suits stores that need automated sales tax without maintaining rate tables.

- TaxJar-based tax calculation through WooCommerce's service

Cons
- Needs a WordPress.com connection through Jetpack
