Hi there!

All those plugins aren't dependent on Jetpack-the-plugin, but integrate the Connection package instead.
The list of connected plugins comes from the Jetpack connection configuration.

Our approach to the issue pretty much depends on whether you're planning to integrate the Connection package, or will stick to Jetpack-the-plugin being required.
If latter, we could add a filter for you to use to add WooCommerce Shipping & Tax into the list. Is this the way you'd prefer?

Hey @sergeymitr 👋
Thank you for replying so quickly!

Do I understand correctly that this requires decisions/changes within the WooCommerce Shipping & Tax plugin?
Either way?
Should I relay this question to the dev team behind WooCommerce Shipping & Tax (internally or create an issue in the plugin's repo and mention this one)? What's the best way to proceed?

Thank you!

@sergeymitr Would #33920 have helped with this issue?

Hi @pehaa, @jeherve.
I apologize for such a long delay, I somehow missed the pings.

Do I understand correctly that this requires decisions/changes within the WooCommerce Shipping & Tax plugin?

That is correct, the changes had to be done on the plugin's side, and they did get implemented.
WCS&T plugin got switched to the Connection package, so it no longer requires Jetpack to be installed: Automattic/woocommerce-services#2439

The PR also solved the problem discussed here, and the plugin is now displayed in the "Disconnect Jetpack" modal.
