SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Configure WooCommerce shipping methods to expose only the fields you want in per-zone modals, reducing clutter and admin confusion. This skill describes how to declare fields with init_form_fields(), control modal visibility via the supports flags, and optionally remove the settings UI entirely when external config is used.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Precise field control: Declare only the fields you want via init_form_fields; the modal renders exactly those fields.
  • Modal visibility control: Configure the per-zone modal using the supports array to enable or suppress the modal.
  • No settings UI option: Exclude instance-settings to provide no per-zone UI when configuration lives elsewhere.

Quick Start

Register a WooCommerce shipping method with PHP-controlled per-zone fields and an optional settings modal.
