The Shipping section is a comprehensive tool for managing shipping logistics within the application. It provides an organized approach to setting up different shipping zones and configuring shipping settings

**Shipping Configuration**

* Shipping within the system is organized by country. Each country has its own distinct shipping setup.
* The system employs a level-based shipping structure, which includes four main sub-menus: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Zones, and Shipping Settings.
* Admins configure which level will be used for zone creation in the "Zones" submenu. Selecting one of the three levels for zone creation automatically disables the child levels.

**Level-Based Hierarchy**

* Shipping levels have a parent-child relationship. For example:
  * **Level 1**: Represents the top-most level, which can be used for state-level shipping. If Level 1 is selected for shipping cost calculation, it results in disabling Level 2 and Level 3.
  * **Level 2**: Functions as the child level of Level 1. For instance, if Level 1 is set as "States," Level 2 can be set as "Cities" or "Local Areas."
  * **Level 3**: Functions as the child level of Level 2. If Level 1 is "States" and Level 2 is "Cities," Level 3 can be set as "ZIP Codes."

**Use Cases**

* **Use Case 1** (Level 1 for Shipping Cost Calculation):
  * If Level 1 is configured as "States" in the country, e.g., UAE, and is used for zone creation and shipping cost calculation, it disables Level 2 and Level 3.
  * To select Level 1 for shipping cost calculation, navigate to "Shipping" > "Shipping Settings" and set Level 1 as the choice for shipping cost calculation.
* **Use Case 2** (Level 2 for Shipping Cost Calculation):
  * Assuming Level 1 is set as "States" and Level 2 is set as "Cities," and it's used for zone creation and shipping cost calculation, this disables Level 3.
  * To select Level 2 for shipping cost calculation, go to "Shipping" > "Shipping Settings" and choose Level 2 as the preferred option.
* **Use Case 3** (Level 3 for Shipping Cost Calculation):
  * In this case, Level 1 is set as "States," Level 2 as "Cities," and Level 3 as "ZIP Codes," and it's used for zone creation and shipping cost calculation. To select Level 3 for shipping cost calculation, navigate to "Shipping" > "Shipping Settings" and designate Level 3.
