Serfe TaxJar Magento 2 Extension

The Serfe TaxJar Magento 2 Extension is a fork of the official TaxJar Magento 2 module (v2.2.0). This extension integrates seamlessly with TaxJar to provide real-time sales tax calculations and zip-based backup rates.

Why This Fork?

The official TaxJar Magento 2 extension has not been updated since 2022, leading to compatibility issues with newer Magento versions. Our fork was created to:

Ensure ongoing compatibility with the latest Magento 2 releases and PHP versions.
Fix known issues reported in the original repository that remain unresolved.
Provide active maintenance for merchants relying on TaxJar for tax calculations.
Enable community contributions, allowing faster issue resolution and feature improvements.

By keeping this module updated, we help Magento store owners avoid potential tax calculation errors and maintain compliance with evolving tax regulations.

Key Features

Real-Time Tax Calculation: Automatically calculates sales tax during checkout using TaxJar's API.
Zip-Based Backup Rates: Ensures tax accuracy even if live API calls fail.
Seamless Magento Integration: Compatible with Magento's native tax configuration.
Enhanced Maintenance & Support: Actively maintained by Serfe.
