Using the plugin with the block checkout
Updated September 14, 2026
The tax exemption checkbox and form are shown directly on the WooCommerce block checkout by default. No setting is needed — since version 3.0.0 this is the standard behaviour rather than an opt-in beta, and the old “[Beta] Block Checkout: Checkbox + Form” setting has been removed.
What works on the block checkout
Customers can enable and disable exemption in place, fill in the fields, and see the tax recalculate. Required fields are validated before the order can be placed, and if a certificate is required the order is blocked until one is on file. Restrictions on country, state, user role and products all apply as they do on the classic checkout.
Exemption is applied through the WooCommerce Store API, which is what the block checkout uses to calculate totals, so the tax shown updates as the customer edits their address.
The My Account tab is now optional
Settings on My Account Page used to be forced on and locked while the block checkout was in use, because the block checkout relied on linking customers over to their account page. It can now be switched off freely.
You may still want it on. Where fields are hidden at checkout, or a certificate is required but there is no upload field on the page, customers are directed to their My Account tax exemption page to finish.
Wording the block checkout messages
Two settings on the Custom Text tab apply specifically here. Block Checkout: Enabled Message is what an already-exempt customer sees — use [link] where the account link should appear, or tick the option to hide the message entirely. Exemption Message covers the cases where a customer needs to be sent to their account page.
Express and accelerated checkout
Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe Link and similar buttons bypass the checkout fields completely. A logged in customer’s saved exemption is applied on these routes, after the usual approval, role and expiry checks. A guest with nothing saved will pay tax in full, because there is no point at which they can be asked.
Other checkout plugins
The plugin targets the standard WooCommerce checkout and the block checkout, and works with many popular checkout plugins including CheckoutWC and Flux Checkout — the latter has a dedicated integration. WooCommerce Subscriptions is supported.
