Shipping Per Product hides its real configuration inside each product's edit screen. Every variation has its own cost per zone, every country override lives in wp_postmeta, and the only way to compare two products is to flip between tabs. SleekView reads the product post type and pulls the plugin's shipping meta keys (typically prefixed with _per_product_shipping_) directly so you see every per-zone rate as a real column.

Build a single table that lists products by SKU, base cost, country overrides, and last-updated date. Filter to products missing a UK rate after Brexit. Sort by highest international shipping cost to find catalog items that have drifted out of margin. The data is already in wp_postmeta, just hidden behind a UI that was designed for editing one product at a time, not auditing two thousand.

Inline edits write back through the standard update_post_meta path so the plugin's own caching and rate-calculation logic keeps working. Bulk-update fifty products from a zone-rate change in one pass, then export the resulting table to share with the warehouse, the courier rep, or the bookkeeper. No CSV roundtrip, no per-product clicks.

Per-product shipping plugins solve a real merchandising problem: heavy or fragile items need their own shipping logic, regardless of cart-level zones. The plugin's storage choice (a flat set of meta keys per product) is the right one technically. The default UI, however, treats every change as a per-product edit.

That is fine for ten products and impossible for a thousand. Catalog managers cannot see which products have zone overrides and which are falling back to defaults. Finance cannot audit shipping cost against price without exporting CSVs.

International ops cannot tell, before a market launch, whether the catalog is even configured for the new region. SleekView turns the same wp_postmeta data into a table the whole team can use: catalog audits become sorted views, gap analysis becomes a filter, and bulk updates become an action instead of a script. Same database, same hooks, dramatically less clicking.
