Use TaxPack on legacy WooCommerce order storage

An older WooCommerce store may still use WordPress posts tables as its authoritative order storage.

Inspect the source record

Check WooCommerce's Features screen before attributing a report difference to storage; inspect a known source order through the admin.

Build a focused report

Generate a focused TaxPack report with the same filters you would use under HPOS.

Read the result

TaxPack uses WooCommerce order APIs so the report can read legacy orders without needing a different plugin edition.

A concrete example

A store that has not enabled HPOS can still review a refund and its recorded tax lines in the free plugin.

Avoid this mistaken conclusion

Do not migrate storage as a troubleshooting shortcut without backups and WooCommerce's compatibility checks.
