Tax Exemption for WooCommerce

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

Directory rank vs rivals

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 800+ in roughly 138 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I spent several hours trying to figure out why one site using this plugin worked fine, but another site did not work. It turned out to be caused by the latter site using the WP Block Editor, which now has WooCommerce fields. When switching to the [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode approach, suddenly it started working again. I initially thought this was caused by the Flux Checkout plugin, but that plugin only renders the fields found on the chosen Checkout page. Following that thread led me to finally (after ~5 hours of debugging) to the Checkout page itself, where I finally saw the difference between the two sites. It would be nice to see compatibility added for WP Block Editor, or to see a disclaimer in the Tax Exempt settings that indicates the incompatibility. Would have saved me a lot of time, which I have precious little of at the moment.

   We purchased the Pro version of this plugin, which has a couple of edge case issues that affect our client’s website, specifically relating to its integration with Avalara Tax, which the plugin promotes. After multiple attempts to receive support or fixes from the plugin developer, we’ve given up hope. Edit: We received the support needed after moving to this forum. This topic was modified 2 years, 1 month ago by Torch Media. Reason: support received
