   Checking on the health of WooCommerce Tax

Why is a WordPress.com account connection required?

A WordPress.com connection is required to securely access our tax APIs, and to avoid API abuse.

This works with WooCommerce, right?

Yep! We follow the L-2 policy, meaning if the latest version of WooCommerce is 8.7, we support back to WooCommerce version 8.5.

Are there Terms of Service?

Absolutely! You can read our Terms of Service here.
