+# Shipping Addon Integration Research
+
+## Problem Statement
+Indonesian shipping plugins (Biteship, Woongkir, etc.) have complex requirements:
+1. **Origin address** - configured in wp-admin
+2. **Subdistrict field** - custom checkout field
+3. **Real-time API calls** - during cart/checkout
+4. **Custom field injection** - modify checkout form
+
+**Question:** How can WooNooW SPA accommodate these plugins without breaking their functionality?
+
+---
+
+## How WooCommerce Shipping Addons Work
+
+### Standard WooCommerce Pattern
+```php
+class My_Shipping_Method extends WC_Shipping_Method {
+    public function calculate_shipping($package = array()) {
+        // 1. Get settings from $this->get_option()
+        // 2. Calculate rates based on package
+        // 3. Call $this->add_rate($rate)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- ✅ Extends `WC_Shipping_Method`
+- ✅ Uses WooCommerce hooks: `woocommerce_shipping_init`, `woocommerce_shipping_methods`
+- ✅ Settings stored in `wp_options` table
+- ✅ Rates calculated during `calculate_shipping()`
+
+---
+
+## Indonesian Shipping Plugins (Biteship, Woongkir, etc.)
+
+### How They Differ from Standard Plugins
+
+#### 1. **Custom Checkout Fields**
+```php
+// They add custom fields to checkout
+add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_fields', function($fields) {
+    $fields['billing']['billing_subdistrict'] = array(
+        'type' => 'select',
+        'label' => 'Subdistrict',
+        'required' => true,
+        'options' => get_subdistricts() // API call
+    );
+    return $fields;
+});
+```
+
+#### 2. **Origin Configuration**
+- Stored in plugin settings (wp-admin)
+- Used for API calls to calculate distance/cost
+- Not exposed in standard WooCommerce shipping settings
+
+#### 3. **Real-time API Calls**
+```php
+public function calculate_shipping($package) {
+    // Get origin from plugin settings
+    $origin = get_option('biteship_origin_subdistrict_id');
+    
+    // Get destination from checkout field
+    $destination = $package['destination']['subdistrict_id'];
+    
+    // Call external API
+    $rates = biteship_api_get_rates($origin, $destination, $weight);
+    
+    foreach ($rates as $rate) {
+        $this->add_rate($rate);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 4. **AJAX Updates**
+```javascript
+// Update shipping when subdistrict changes
+jQuery('#billing_subdistrict').on('change', function() {
+    jQuery('body').trigger('update_checkout');
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Why Indonesian Plugins Are Complex
+
+### 1. **Geographic Complexity**
+- Indonesia has **34 provinces**, **514 cities**, **7,000+ subdistricts**
+- Shipping cost varies by subdistrict (not just city)
+- Standard WooCommerce only has: Country → State → City → Postcode
+
+### 2. **Multiple Couriers**
+- Each courier has different rates per subdistrict
+- Real-time API calls required (can't pre-calculate)
+- Some couriers don't serve all subdistricts
+
+### 3. **Origin-Destination Pairing**
+- Cost depends on **origin subdistrict** + **destination subdistrict**
+- Origin must be configured in admin
+- Destination selected at checkout
+
+---
+
+## How WooNooW SPA Should Handle This
+
+### ✅ **What WooNooW SHOULD Do**
+
+#### 1. **Display Methods Correctly**
+```typescript
+// Our current approach is CORRECT
+const { data: zones } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['shipping-zones'],
+    queryFn: () => api.get('/settings/shipping/zones')
+});
+```
+- ✅ Fetch zones from WooCommerce API
+- ✅ Display all methods (including Biteship, Woongkir)
+- ✅ Show enable/disable toggle
+- ✅ Link to WooCommerce settings for advanced config
+
+#### 2. **Expose Basic Settings Only**
+```typescript
+// Show only common settings
+- Display Name (title)
+- Cost (if applicable)
+- Min Amount (if applicable)
+```
+- ✅ Don't try to show ALL settings
+- ✅ Complex settings → "Edit in WooCommerce" button
+
+#### 3. **Respect Plugin Behavior**
+- ✅ Don't interfere with checkout field injection
+- ✅ Don't modify `calculate_shipping()` logic
+- ✅ Let plugins handle their own API calls
+
+---
+
+### ❌ **What WooNooW SHOULD NOT Do**
+
+#### 1. **Don't Try to Manage Custom Fields**
+```typescript
+// ❌ DON'T DO THIS
+const subdistrictField = {
+    type: 'select',
+    options: await fetchSubdistricts()
+};
+```
+- ❌ Subdistrict fields are managed by shipping plugins
+- ❌ They inject fields via WooCommerce hooks
+- ❌ WooNooW SPA doesn't control checkout page
+
+#### 2. **Don't Try to Calculate Rates**
+```typescript
+// ❌ DON'T DO THIS
+const rate = await biteshipAPI.getRates(origin, destination);
+```
+- ❌ Rate calculation is plugin-specific
+- ❌ Requires API keys, origin config, etc.
+- ❌ Should happen during checkout, not in admin
+
+#### 3. **Don't Try to Show All Settings**
+```typescript
+// ❌ DON'T DO THIS
+<Input label="Origin Subdistrict ID" />
+<Input label="API Key" />
+<Input label="Courier Selection" />
+```
+- ❌ Too complex for simplified UI
+- ❌ Each plugin has different settings
+- ❌ Better to link to WooCommerce settings
+
+---
+
+## Comparison: Global vs Indonesian Shipping
+
+### Global Shipping Plugins (ShipStation, EasyPost, etc.)
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- ✅ Standard address fields (Country, State, City, Postcode)
+- ✅ Pre-calculated rates or simple API calls
+- ✅ No custom checkout fields needed
+- ✅ Settings fit in standard WooCommerce UI
+
+**Example: Flat Rate**
+```php
+public function calculate_shipping($package) {
+    $rate = array(
+        'label' => $this->title,
+        'cost' => $this->get_option('cost')
+    );
+    $this->add_rate($rate);
+}
+```
+
+### Indonesian Shipping Plugins (Biteship, Woongkir, etc.)
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- ⚠️ Custom address fields (Province, City, District, **Subdistrict**)
+- ⚠️ Real-time API calls with origin-destination pairing
+- ⚠️ Custom checkout field injection
+- ⚠️ Complex settings (API keys, origin config, courier selection)
+
+**Example: Biteship**
+```php
+public function calculate_shipping($package) {
+    $origin_id = get_option('biteship_origin_subdistrict_id');
+    $dest_id = $package['destination']['subdistrict_id'];
+    
+    $response = wp_remote_post('https://api.biteship.com/v1/rates', array(
+        'headers' => array('Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $api_key),
+        'body' => json_encode(array(
+            'origin_area_id' => $origin_id,
+            'destination_area_id' => $dest_id,
+            'couriers' => $this->get_option('couriers'),
+            'items' => $package['contents']
+        ))
+    ));
+    
+    $rates = json_decode($response['body'])->pricing;
+    foreach ($rates as $rate) {
+        $this->add_rate(array(
+            'label' => $rate->courier_name . ' - ' . $rate->courier_service_name,
+            'cost' => $rate->price
+        ));
+    }
+}
+```
+

+
+## Recommendations for WooNooW SPA
+
+### ✅ **Current Approach is CORRECT**
+
+Our simplified UI is perfect for:
+1. **Standard shipping methods** (Flat Rate, Free Shipping, Local Pickup)
+2. **Simple third-party plugins** (basic rate calculators)
+3. **Non-tech users** who just want to enable/disable methods
+
+### ✅ **For Complex Plugins (Biteship, Woongkir)**
+
+**Strategy: "View-Only + Link to WooCommerce"**
+
+```typescript
+// In the accordion, show:
+<AccordionItem>
+  <AccordionTrigger>
+    🚚 Biteship - JNE REG [On]
+    Rp 15,000 (calculated at checkout)
+  </AccordionTrigger>
+  <AccordionContent>
+    <Alert>
+      This is a complex shipping method with advanced settings.
+      <Button asChild>
+        <a href={wcAdminUrl + '/admin.php?page=biteship-settings'}>
+          Configure in WooCommerce
+        </a>
+      </Button>
+    </Alert>
+    
+    {/* Only show basic toggle */}
+    <ToggleField 
+      label="Enable/Disable"
+      value={method.enabled}
+      onChange={handleToggle}
+    />
+  </AccordionContent>
+</AccordionItem>
+```
+
+### ✅ **Detection Logic**
+
+```typescript
+// Detect if method is complex
+const isComplexMethod = (method: ShippingMethod) => {
+  const complexPlugins = [
+    'biteship',
+    'woongkir',
+    'anteraja',
+    'shipper',
+    // Add more as needed
+  ];
+  
+  return complexPlugins.some(plugin => 
+    method.id.includes(plugin)
+  );
+};
+
+// Render accordingly
+{isComplexMethod(method) ? (
+  <ComplexMethodView method={method} />
+) : (
+  <SimpleMethodView method={method} />
+)}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### ✅ **What to Test in WooNooW SPA**
+
+1. **Method Display**
+   - ✅ Biteship methods appear in zone list
+   - ✅ Enable/disable toggle works
+   - ✅ Method name displays correctly
+
+2. **Settings Link**
+   - ✅ "Edit in WooCommerce" button works
+   - ✅ Opens correct settings page
+
+3. **Don't Break Checkout**
+   - ✅ Subdistrict field still appears
+   - ✅ Rates calculate correctly
+   - ✅ AJAX updates work
+
+### ❌ **What NOT to Test in WooNooW SPA**
+
+1. ❌ Rate calculation accuracy
+2. ❌ API integration
+3. ❌ Subdistrict field functionality
+4. ❌ Origin configuration
+
+**These are the shipping plugin's responsibility!**
+
