It forces you to install bloatware Jetpack

By Cristian (mastix) on December 5, 2022

This plugin forces you to install bloatware Jetpack that will slow your site down to crawling speed. They are forcing you to do this, as nobody would want to buy bloatware Jetpack by their own. I hope other tax option for woo come up, so we are NOT forced to install and make much slower our sites with Jetpack. Luckily, we have other options available and not being forced to have a lunch we do not want. I use EU/UK VAT Compliance Assistant for WooCommerce, but I have found others that are good, like YITH WooCommerce EU VAT. Just say no to any WP plugins that advance on you with such bad behaviors.

Useless for Canada Post

If we can't print Canada Post labels, this plugin serves no purpose.

Does the plugin really require the JetPack Plugin?

By Vitaliy Lyubezhanin (harikjr88) on September 21, 2022

Looking at other plugins like WooCommerce payments, this plugin should follow suite and do the same thing. EVERY module is turned off and this plugin is unnecessary. However, even with all modules off, it's still causing issues. So please do that.

The worst Woo plugin... period.

By adiga762 on December 18, 2022

This is really the worst plugin I have ever used with WooCommerce. Major issues. I regularly get random server failure errors when trying to buy a shipping label. It forces plugin updates to regain function... not just for this plugin, but for many others. Which means I have to run out of cycle updates outside my regular quarterly backup/update schedule in which we test everything before going to prod. And JetPack is pure 100 percent sewer trash that has to be installed with this plugin. They need to go back to the drawing board.

Get ride of Jetpack

By jtphelan on August 16, 2022

Would be nice if it didn't require to bloated jetpack that slows down your site. I found woosalestax.com so I'm using it now for clients that need to collect for a single state.

This plug breaks every couple of months

I'm revising my rating from 2 to 1 star. This plugin has been a complete nightmare to generate shipping rates with and constantly stops working in one way or another.

Requires Jetpack

By Kevin (Kpudlo) on July 12, 2022

This requires another plugin (Jetpack), which isn't really mentioned in the description until the FAQ. Otherwise, it doesn't do anything. This is unfortunate as I only wanted to use this plugin for tax rates.
