Easily add custom cities with rates, convert city to dropdown, create WooCommerce shipping zones (Pro), hide checkout fields, rename labels

== Description ==
<p><strong>Shipping Manager for WooCommerce</strong> is a powerful localization plugin that lets you take full control over your store’s shipping logic by converting the default city field into a customizable dropdown and letting you define your own cities and regions — no coding required. If you need to <strong>convert the city field into a dropdown</strong>, assign city-specific shipping rates, or define <strong>custom WooCommerce shipping zones</strong> (Pro), this plugin is your perfect solution.</p>

<p>By default, WooCommerce doesn’t support detailed city-level shipping control or non-standard regional zones. That’s where this plugin helps. Whether you deliver within major cities, rural towns, or localized areas not listed in WooCommerce, Shipping Manager lets you build a fully localized shipping system optimized for your business model.</p>

<ul>
  <li>🌍 Replace the default city input with a <strong>dropdown</strong> to avoid user input errors and enforce valid entries</li>
  <li>🏷️ Rename the city field to suit your business — call it “District”, “Zone”, “Area”, or anything else</li>
  <li>🚚 Set custom shipping rates for each city dropdown option</li>
  <li>🗺️ Localize shipping for countries with region-specific delivery, especially useful for Egypt, UAE, KSA, and similar markets</li>
  <li>💡 Use the Pro version to define <strong>custom WooCommerce shipping zones</strong> using combinations of Country + State + City</li>
</ul>

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
<dl>

<dt id="why" class="open" aria-expanded="true">
  <h3><button formaction="#why">Why do I need this plugin?</button></h3>
</dt>
<dd>
  If you want to localize your WooCommerce shipping process with better control, this plugin allows you to convert the city field to a dropdown, rename it to anything you want (like “Area” or “District”), and assign specific shipping rates per city. It’s ideal for stores delivering to areas not listed by default in WooCommerce.
</dd>

<dt id="how">
  <h3><button formaction="#how">Can I use the city field to show something else?</button></h3>
</dt>
<dd>
  Absolutely! You can change the field label from "City" to anything — like "Zone", "District", or "Region" — and define your own dropdown values. These values are linked to the parent country, and you can assign individual shipping costs for each one.
</dd>

<dt id="zones">
  <h3><button formaction="#zones">Can I create custom WooCommerce shipping zones?</button></h3>
</dt>
<dd>
  Yes, with the Pro version. You can define custom shipping zones based on Country, State, and City. This is useful for assigning targeted shipping rates and logistics tailored to your region or business model.
</dd>

<dt id="price">
  <h3><button formaction="#price">Why isn’t the shipping price updating?</button></h3>
</dt>
<dd>
  Ensure you've set a default rate for uncovered areas. Go to <strong>WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Add Shipping Zone → Locations not covered by your other zones</strong>. Add a Flat Rate shipping method and set a fallback/default cost. Also make sure each city has a rate assigned.
</dd>

<dt id="conflict">
  <h3><button formaction="#conflict">Will this conflict with my theme or checkout plugins?</button></h3>
</dt>
<dd>
  No. This plugin follows WooCommerce standards and uses core hooks. It’s compatible with most themes and checkout customization plugins. Always test on a staging environment if using highly customized templates.
</dd>

<dt id="billing">
  <h3><button formaction="#billing">Can I apply shipping logic to billing fields instead of shipping?</button></h3>
</dt>
<dd>
  Yes, with the Pro version you can choose whether the custom city logic applies to billing or shipping fields. This gives you more flexibility in stores where shipping and billing addresses differ by logic.
</dd>
