Is Jetpack Still Required for WooCommerce Shipping & Tax Plugin in 2024

Hello @carolm29,

Thank you for your prompt response and for addressing my inquiry regarding the WooCommerce Shipping & Tax plugin.

While I appreciate the detailed explanation of Jetpack’s capabilities and functionalities, I’m still seeking clarity on whether the WooCommerce Shipping & Tax plugin itself requires Jetpack for proper functionality within my WooCommerce store.

To reiterate, my primary concern is to ascertain whether Jetpack is essential for the core functionality of the WooCommerce Shipping & Tax plugin. Although I acknowledge the benefits Jetpack offers in terms of security, performance, and customization, I already have alternative solutions in place to address these aspects within my website infrastructure.

Therefore, I kindly request a clear confirmation regarding whether the WooCommerce Shipping & Tax plugin relies on Jetpack specifically, or if it can operate independently without the need for Jetpack integration.

Your assistance in providing this clarification would be greatly appreciated as it will help me make informed decisions regarding the management of plugins within my WooCommerce store.

Thank you once again for your assistance, and I look forward to your response.

Have a great day!

Joanna.

Hey, @niceneedle! ??

The Jetpack plugin is not required to use WooCommerce Shipping & Tax. You need to connect the WordPress.com account, which can be done via the Jetpack plugin, but can also be done without it.

I hope this was clarifying.

Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help or if you have any questions.

Have a wonderful day!

Hey, @niceneedle!

I’m glad we were able to help! If you have a few minutes, we’d love if you could leave us a review: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/woocommerce/reviews/

Can someone please verify what it means that the WooCommerce Shipping & Tax plugin must be connected to WordPress.com?

My website is NOT hosted on WordPress.com. Does that mean that the WooCommerce Shipping & Tax plugin is only for customers of WordPress.com who have their site hosted on that platform?

Hi @sweetiowa,

I wanted to share my experience with you regarding the compatibility of the plugin with different hosting providers. I host my WooCommerce store on SiteGround, and I can assure you that the plugin works perfectly fine with it. You don’t necessarily need to host your site on WordPress for this plugin to function effectively.
