How It Works

Here’s how the TaxJar for WooCommerce plugin works:

At the cart and checkout page, TaxJar takes the following input from your store:

  • Your store address
  • Your customer’s address
  • Order details such as line items and shipping

And returns accurate sales tax (including state, county, city, and special taxes) based on…

  • Your store address
  • Any nexus locations stored in your TaxJar account
  • Local sales tax sourcing laws (origin-based or destination-based)
  • Shipping taxability laws (shipping is not taxable in every state)
  • Product exemptions if configured for specific products
  • Itemized discounts for coupons
  • Sales tax holidays

Setting up sales tax with TaxJar is simple. Read the documentation to learn more!

Or you can follow these steps to install the TaxJar plugin:

  1. Install the plugin in your WordPress admin panel under Plugins > Add New (search for “TaxJar”) or download the zip and upload to /wp-content/plugins on your server.
  2. Activate the plugin under Plugins > Installed Plugins.
  3. Find the TaxJar configuration under WooCommerce > TaxJar.
  4. Click the “Connect To TaxJar” button.
  5. Sign in with your TaxJar account (or create a new one) in the popup.
  6. Click the “Connect” button. The popup will automatically close and your WooCommerce store will be linked to your TaxJar account. Note: If your business exceeds 1,000 orders per month, you will be prompted to upgrade your account to TaxJar Professional in order to activate real-time sales tax calculations through the TaxJar API.
  7. Fill out the rest of your settings. TaxJar requires your city and zip code from which you ship products to calculate sales tax. We automatically detect your country and state based on your WooCommerce configuration.
  8. If you have multiple nexus states where you need to collect sales tax, make sure they’re added to your TaxJar account. Click the “Sync Nexus Addresses” button to import your nexus addresses into WooCommerce.
  9. Check the box next to “Enable TaxJar Calculations”.
  10. If you plan to use TaxJar for sales tax reporting and filing, check the box next to “Enable order downloads to TaxJar” for TaxJar to connect and download the transactions on your store for AutoFile and reporting features.
  11. Click “Save changes”. You’re now up and running with TaxJar!

Suggested WooCommerce Tax Settings

  1. We automatically set up your store’s tax settings to work with our API. There is no need to configure WooCommerce taxes.
  2. Full reporting of your sales tax collected, AutoFile and more available in your TaxJar account.

What are the requirements to collect sales tax with TaxJar for WooCommerce?

As long as you have a business address, TaxJar’s plugin can calculate sales tax based on your location and the location of your customer. If your business exceeds 1,000 orders per month, a TaxJar Professional account will be required for real-time sales tax calculations through the TaxJar API. Contact TaxJar sales to get a free demo or a quote at 855-800-6681, or request a free demo.

How do I turn on sales tax calculations at checkout?

If you don’t have a TaxJar Professional account, and have more than 1,000 orders per month, you’ll need to sign up for a TaxJar Professional plan to get calculations through the TaxJar API. Contact TaxJar sales to get a free demo or a quote at 855-800-6681, or request a free demo.

What does this plugin cost?

Our pricing is based on the number of WooCommerce orders you import into TaxJar. Pricing starts at $99 per month with TaxJar Professional.

Does this cost more if I have nexus in more than one state?

Nope. The cost is the same no matter if you have nexus in one state or 40 states.

Can TaxJar file my sales tax returns automatically for me?

Yes. We can file sales tax returns for you in any US state.

Is there a separate fee to file my sales tax returns for me?

Our plans come with filings included, with additional filings available for purchase. Learn more about our plans.

We are using the FunnelKit plugin for upsell functionality. Noticed that on all upsells, even though woo is calculating taxes, the credit cards/paypal are not being charged – we are thus reporting taxes we have not collected. We have a professional account with TaxJar and have been working on this for weeks with them as they don’t seem to understand the issue. This is really frustrating. If you are currently using TaxJar, double-check the credit card/paypal statements to make sure that taxes are actually being charged.

easier to export sale csv and calculate tax myself / asking dev to create me a simple plugin to do that automaticaly for 100 bucks connecting to some simple API

You will be required for a TaxJar pro plan now to use this plugin which costs $99 per month.

Just a waste of time! I’ve been dealing with this plugin for a while now, and I wanted to let you all about my experience. I’ve spent days trying to understand the pricing. It’s not clear what you get with each package, especially when it comes to WooCommerce integration. According to the comment posted by a Taxjar employee on the previous 1-star review, Taxjar should cost you $19/month if you sign up via Woocommerce interface. That is a HUGE LIE! I’ve tested 3 different techniques to get that offer. First, I went to the website without knowing that I had to signup via Woocommerce, and ending up with a warning that I need to upgrade to professional ($99/month) to connect Woocommerce. Second, I called the sales team and they gave me a Woocommerce partner link. I signed up with a new email, and it didn’t work either. Lastly, I thought it might be due to the caching, so I opened a new browser, went to Taxjar settings, clicked on the signup link, and signed up using another new email address. Then, I was greeted with the same warning. No matter how you try it, they try to get you to pay $99/month. It’s obvious that they want you to give up trying and pay $99/month. They want to punish you for using Woocommerce rather than Shopify where it would cost you $19/month if you did so. I’ve emailed the support team about this problem. It’s been hours and I still haven’t received any response. I suggest you find another provider who is cooperating and honest even if it costs slightly more.

Heads up – this plugin requires a minimum $99 a month account to use. Their marketing insinuates that there are “One click eCommerce integrations” – but this is not the case with WooCommerce. Don’t waste your time with this one unless you can handle paying $99 a month for your first 200 transactions. Their sales flow will lead you to create an account and pay $17 a month, and then you’ll realize you need a ‘Plus’ account to use real time rates. OK, how much does that cost, and how can I upgrade? Oh no, you need to schedule a sales call to just get the info.
