**Integration with Shiperman API **
This plugin relies on the Shiperman API for its core functionality. Below is an outline of the integration: 
The Shiperman API is a third-party service used for automating logistics processes, including AWB (Air Waybill) label generation, real-time shipping rate calculation, and managing shipment statuses.

**What data is sent and when:**  
- **During AWB label creation:** Shipment details such as recipient name, address, product weight, and dimensions are sent to the Shiperman API.  
- **During shipping rate calculation:** Origin and destination addresses, along with package dimensions and weight, are sent to the API.  
- **For account setup and authentication:** Account credentials and related configurations are shared during setup.
