By default WooCommerce lets a customer pick ANY state/province of a country you sell to — even regions you have no shipping method for. They get all the way to checkout, see “no shipping method available for your address”, and abandon the order.
Region Lock removes the regions you choose from WooCommerce’s address dropdowns, so customers can’t select them in the first place. Set the regions once, per country, for any country you sell to — no code, no theme edits.
