2. Click Add New to create a new attribute, or edit an existing one.
3. Set the attribute name to “Country” (case-sensitive).

5. Go to Products > All Products, edit each relevant product, and assign the “Country: Hungary” attribute under the Attributes tab.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using GLS Parcel Shop (Map) for WooCommerce, try the following solutions:

1. GLS Parcel Shop option does not appear at checkout:
   • Ensure the plugin is enabled in WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > GLS Parcel Shop.
   • Verify that your store’s shipping zones are configured to include Hungary under WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Zones.
   • Check that the “Country” attribute (e.g., Hungary) is added to your products under Products > Attributes.
2. The interactive map does not load during checkout:
   • Ensure the customer has selected Hungary as the shipping country, as the map will not appear for other countries.
   • Check that your site has a stable internet connection, as the map relies on external GLS services.
   • Check for JavaScript conflicts by disabling other plugins temporarily or switching to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Five).
3. Customers cannot select a GLS Parcel Shop:
   • Verify that the plugin is correctly configured with a valid title and cost in WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > GLS Parcel Shop.
   • Confirm that the customer has selected Hungary as the shipping country, as the map is only available for Hungary.
