Starting today, we support shippingDetails
schema.org markup as an alternative way for retailers to be eligible for shipping details in
Google Search results.
Since June 2020, retailers have been able to list their products across different Google
surfaces without payment,
including on Google Search.
We are committed to supporting ways for the ecosystem to better connect with users that come to
Google to look for the best products, brands, and retailers by investing both in more robust
tooling in
Google Merchant Center as
well as with new kinds of schema.org options.
Shipping details, including cost and expected delivery times, are often a key consideration for
users making purchase decisions. In our own studies, we've heard that users abandon shopping
checkouts because of unforeseen or uncertain shipping costs. This is why we will often show
shipping cost information in certain result types, including listings on Google Search
(currently in the US, in English only).
