Governed ability

Create WooCommerce shipping method

aafm/wc-create-shipping-method Guarded write

Adds a shipping method to a WooCommerce shipping zone. Provide the zone id and method type (e.g. flat_rate, free_shipping, local_pickup). Returns the new method shape. Requires the manage-WooCommerce capability.

How it is governed

The same model as every ability in the plugin, stated for this one.

  • Off until you enable it

    Like every ability, Create WooCommerce shipping method ships switched off. You turn it on one at a time, and an update never widens access on its own.

  • Guarded write

    Writes stay conservative, and the plugin re-checks the capability before the call runs.

  • Capability gated

    A connection only sees Create WooCommerce shipping method if the user you connected can run it, and the plugin checks that capability again before it executes.

  • Every call audited

    The call is written to the log in your own database, denials included, with the argument keys but never the values.
