Split up the items in your customer's cart to offer multiple shipping method selections for a single order

== Description ==

Take advantage of a new feature presented in WooCommerce 2.1 and split your cart into packages to offer your users multiple shipping selections. Packages can group products for shipping based on:

* shipping classes
* any product meta field
* product owner (vendor using many WC vendor plugins)
* on a per product basis.

Each package group will have its own shipping selection under the shipping section of your cart and checkout forms.

In addition, this plugin can limit which shipping methods are used for each package. Using the provided table, match each shipping class to its applicable method, or leave it blank to include them all! This feature works only for shipping class methods, but is planned to be extended to
the meta field method.

This plugin is designed as a simplistic UI for users who want to separate their cart in packages without the need of a developer. The actual functionality of multiple shipping options is provided through WooCommerce 2.1+

== Installation ==

<h4>Minimum Requirements</h4>

* WooCommerce 2.1 or greater

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What happened to the item details for each shipping method after an order is placed? =

This is a WooCommerce design choice. In the cart and checkout fields, each shipping option lists the products below that apply to the given rate.
After submitted, the receipt and order page will only list the options selected, and not which items should be shipped that way. If you would like
to request this feature, please contact WooCommerce support.
