Advanced Flat Rate Shipping plugins store each rule as a custom post type (often afrsm_method or similar) with conditions and a cost saved in wp_postmeta. Each rule can combine country, category, cart total, product, and class conditions. The default admin lists rules but the conditions live behind a per-rule edit screen, so comparing rules is an exercise in opening each one.

SleekView reads the rule post type and surfaces the most-used condition meta keys as real columns. Filter to rules that target a specific country. Sort by cost to find the rule that fires for high-value carts. Group by status to see active vs disabled rules at a glance. Joins to product and category taxonomies resolve numeric ids to names so condition columns read like a human wrote them.

Inline edits route through the plugin's own save logic where supported, falling back to update_post_meta with the same cache invalidation hooks. Bulk-disable seasonal rules after a campaign, or bulk-update a flat-rate cost after a courier price change, in one pass.

Advanced flat-rate shipping is the right answer for stores that outgrow per-zone rates. A holiday-free-shipping promo, a heavy-class surcharge, a B2B-only discount: each becomes a rule with its own conditions. The plugin's storage choice (a rule post type with meta) is appropriate.

The UI's choice (one rule per edit screen) means comparing rules requires opening each one in turn. That breaks under operational load. Marketing cannot bulk-launch seasonal promos.

International ops cannot audit per-country coverage before a market launch. Finance cannot compare costs across rules without exporting. Support cannot tell which rule fired for a confused customer.

SleekView turns the same rule data into a real table: conditions become columns, priorities become sorts, campaigns become filters. The plugin's logic does not change; the workspace around it finally matches how teams work.
