There are basically two "actions" taken by a module: if it is to be enabled, then either to report the possible options available by the module and any conditions available at the time (logged in, shipping address, package origin, cart contents, etc...) or secondly, if a method has been selected in the checkout process, to return the details of that selection as based on the data available which likely would also be the same information from above, but it is a good idea to allow the software to confirm that the option remains valid.

As to work flow, in a standard Zen Cart install, there are generally two areas where shipping options are initially presented. From the shopping cart page (if set to either display on that page or by a popup window) and the checkout_shipping page (see includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping/header_php.php for initial conditions and how things flow by selection of options from that page). Take a look at the action of the form that captures the options selected for shipping to identify where next to review for next action.

Then there is the examples of other shipping modules, although they each implement different aspects. Some provide a single option, some offer multiple (UPS, USPS and Fedex modules come to mind).

Central "processing" is controlled by the shipping class found in includes/classes.

Hopefully that offers some ideas on approach to your problem. To get more assistance, perhaps more specific questions can be asked and/or code shared.

The Zen Cart devs are in the process of restoring the documentation that describes the inner-workings of shipping modules. You can follow the PR here: https://github.com/zencart/documenta...ment-595776506 and I'll report back when the documentation is available on https://docs.zen-cart.com.
