TaxCloud for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

31 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 8 listed. 23 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 94% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 15 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   Our company has recently switched to TaxCloud and it has been a painless transition. The extension in Chrome for QBO has provided peace of mind when dealing with taxes across multiple states. No more second guessing! One of the things that really stood out to me was the training during the transition. It was so thoughtfully designed and incredibly easy to follow. I never once felt overwhelmed, and it didn’t require being a computer wiz to understand. Lindsay was very clear, practical, and walked me through everything step by step. It made the whole process smooth, stress-free, and honestly one of the best training experiences I’ve had with a company.

   We are a smaller startup in the firearms industry and have only used one state where we’ve been doing all of the tax in house. As we grow we’ve started to worry about nexus in other states. TaxCloud was a great fit for us as it was a cheaper option to track nexus and potentially scale our tax team or compare to other larger (and expensive) services like Avalara. Implementation was nice and easy. We enjoyed working with the TaxCloud team and getting the website integration setup was quick.

   I cant recommend this plugin and the tax cloud service enough. We’ve been using the TaxCloud plugin for WordPress to manage sales tax compliance for our catalog of over 70 stores. With nexus in 31 states, staying on top of varying tax rates and compliance requirements would otherwise require several full-time staff members. TaxCloud has been a game-changer for our business. The plugin is incredibly easy to set up, and once it’s running, it seamlessly handles tax calculations, reporting, and compliance updates. We worry WAY less about managing complex tax regulations now, allowing us to focus on growing our business instead of hiring additional staff for tax compliance. What we appreciate most is how hands-off it is. Our team doesn’t have time for additional maintenance. TaxCloud has saved us countless hours and has significantly reduced our overhead costs. If you’re managing a large-scale operation or dealing with multi-state tax complexities, this plugin is a must-have.

   I have been using Simple Sales Tax by Taxcloud for years for my small business. It comes in handy every time I need to report my Sales and Use Tax, which are such a pain. This takes the frustration and confusion out of the Sales and Use Tax process! Simple Sales Tax breaks down sales by State and Jurisdiction so you can easily calculate sales. Aside from the app being easy to use and great the customer service is NEXT LEVEL AMAZING. I have honestly stayed this long bc the customer service is so good. When i email with a question they respond quickly and Rianna, Melanie, Horst and Ryan have been absolutely fabulous. I’ve even gotten detailed video and voice message responses that have saved my butt! Im not great with technology so their explanations have been so helpful! Def check this out! 10/10 recommend!

   I’ve been using this plugin on my site for several years now, and overall it has worked flawlessly. I have customers all over the United States and this plugin (and the related TaxCloud service) makes it dead simple to remain in compliance with state sales tax laws. I encourage other reviewers complaining about the price of TaxCloud to take a close look at the price of competing services like TaxJar. TaxCloud is FAR more reasonably priced (particularly if you have a lot of orders each month). I’m very happy with this plugin and TaxCloud.

   When I tried this service it was great at first. It automatically opened my tax paying accounts to various states. The charges made sense considering most of what they’re doing is automated. $9 a month; considering I barely make that I was pleased. Suddenly the charges changed to $30 a month. Then the plugin stopped working properly; the few sales I got weren’t being taxed. The website kept coughing out (which would ease up when I turned off the plugin). So I switched to their “free” version, and was still charged $30 a month with no actual work happening on their side. I was literally being charged for their plugin not to work properly. Then I started getting notices that my tax accounts were being closed. And here’s the final clincher: the Illinois tax ID I have to maintain? Not closed, however when I went to handle things professionally it turned out THE TAX ID WASN’T REAL. I had to apply and get one manually. So just like the accountant I kicked to the curb a few years ago when life was better, if I have to do all the work what am I wasting money for? I thought very long and hard before closing my account with these people. Despite all of the above, I almost called them to see why I was being charged for a nothing burger and trying to work it out. But then I said to myself, well I’m not making any sales anyway. It’s pointless at this time. So I closed the account when the last monthly charge went through. That should have been it. But it’s not. I just got notice they’re going to charge me the monthly fee again. And for what? I don’t even have an account anymore! I’m going to have to call my bank and try to block their charges, because I just tried to sign in again but couldn’t. Because you see, my account is *closed*. It’s theft at this point. EDIT: I’d managed to get back into my closed account by using the change of password feature to learn it had never been closed properly!! So be careful if you tell them to close your account!! Make sure all cards are unattached with them and that they have no way to keep things open and charge you anyway! Despite my initiating a closure of account a month ago, I am being charged for this last month *because they NEVER CLOSED IT!!!!* This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by rainbowprophet.
