FFL dealer selection for WooCommerce checkout.

== Description ==

FFL API Integration for WooCommerce is designed for WooCommerce-powered online stores that sell firearm-related products requiring shipment to licensed FFL dealers.

The plugin integrates with the FFL API service to allow customers to select a licensed dealer during checkout. This helps store owners clearly separate FFL and non-FFL products and guide customers through the appropriate checkout flow.

This plugin requires an active WooCommerce installation and valid API credentials from FFL API.


== Shop Owners ==

Online shop owners selling regulated firearm products often need a clear and structured checkout experience that supports FFL dealer selection.

This plugin provides tools to:
- Identify firearm products
- Display FFL dealer selection during checkout
- Manage dealer-related shipment details within WooCommerce


== Customers Purchasing FFL Products ==

Customers purchasing firearm products can search for nearby licensed FFL dealers by ZIP code during checkout and select a dealer before completing their order.

The selected dealer’s information is displayed clearly to help avoid confusion during fulfillment.
