HPOS, blocks and tax compatibility

Updated September 14, 2026

The plugin declares compatibility with both of WooCommerce’s major modern features and uses the current order APIs throughout, so no special configuration is needed for either.

High-Performance Order Storage

HPOS is fully supported. The admin tools, refund-to-credit button and order-linked credit history work on both the classic and the HPOS order screens, and you can switch storage modes without affecting stored credit. Balances live in user meta rather than in order tables, so they are unaffected by the switch either way.

Block cart and checkout

The redemption tool and the compact widget both work on the block-based Cart and Checkout as well as the classic shortcode pages, and the store credit payment method registers itself as a Blocks payment method.

Because the plugin relies on standard WooCommerce hooks rather than theme markup, it also works with most custom checkout plugins. If a heavily customised checkout does not show the tool, the usual fix is to place it yourself at a different hook rather than to change the settings.

Tax

Applied account credit is added to the order as a negative fee, which is what lets it reduce the payable total without pretending to be a discount on any particular product. The plugin works out the correct tax treatment for that fee from the cart’s own tax makeup, and the tax effect is shown to the customer alongside the applied amount so the figures reconcile.

Vouchers behave differently because they are coupons: WooCommerce handles their tax the way it handles any fixed cart discount.

If you are running prices-inclusive-of-tax with mixed tax rates in one cart, test a few real orders before launch and check the order totals against what you expect. That combination is where tax apportionment is hardest for any plugin to get right.

Subscriptions and other extensions

There is no dedicated WooCommerce Subscriptions integration. Credit applies to an order at checkout in the normal way, but it is not carried forward automatically to future renewal orders, so do not promise customers that a balance will pay their recurring payments.
