WooCommerce Services makes basic eCommerce features like shipping more reliable by taking the burden off of your site’s infrastructure.
With WooCommerce Services, critical services are hosted on Automattic’s best-in-class infrastructure, rather than relying on your store’s hosting. That means your store will be more stable and faster.
To use the features, simply install this plugin and activate the ones you want directly in your dashboard. As we add more services, you’ll see more features available directly in WooCommerce – making setup simpler.
Print shipping labels for USPS at a discounted rate
Give customers lower rates on their shipping. Create ready-to-print shipping labels for USPS directly in WooCommerce and take advantage of our special discount rate.
Collect accurate taxes at checkout
We’ve got taxes for you – no need to enter tax rates manually.
Be ready to accept payments instantly
Have a Stripe account created on your behalf or accept PayPal Checkout payments without having to setup an account.

/wp-content/plugins/plugin-namedirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
- Install and activate WooCommerce if you haven’t already done so

- Want to buy shipping labels? First, add your credit card to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/billing and then print labels for orders right from the Edit Order page

As of the WooCommerce 3.5 release, WooCommerce Services no longer provides shipping rates for new stores. If you’re already using shipping rates in WooCommerce Services, they will continue to work.
for a real business you need shipstation and NO ADS. What scam is this. Devs don’t waste time on this concept. Keep PLUGIN COUNT LOW!
This plugins seems SPAM with woocommerce and is very anoying. There is not easy to know how to uninstall, because I uninstalled jetpack but it continues showing me messages from woocommerce. 🙁
Not sure what all the one star reviews are about. It works fine for me. Saves me money on buying USPS labels
I was having issues with my taxes not being automated for CA. I tried to figure it out myself, but was having a hard time. I reached out to Woocommerce support and they were able to help me out. Turns out my Jetpack was having issues with the url link provided, but they were able to resolve it and then my taxes were being automated again. I don’t use Jetpack for anything else because I have other plugins, but for now it’s working correctly with the automated tax, so I’m going to keep using it 🙂
Thanks to Woocommerce support for fixing it for me.
Do not trust this plugin – I trusted the automated tax calculations that they like the boast about and unfortunately lost $100’s worth of lost taxes because of a glitch/bug/issue with the tax’s not properly calculating for the province of QC. Luckily I discovered this fairly early on when the numbers seemed off. Could have been worse. I added the tax rates myself since.
Needless Plugin that makes itself appear as though its required.
Delete ASAP serves no purpose.
These features should be part of the main WooCommerce plugin.
Also, there’s an annoying JetPack installation prompt… I don’t want to install that crap on my website.
kthxbye
