What does Missing shipping information mean in Google Merchant Center?
Missing shipping information issues usually mean the shipping cost or delivery expectations are not being provided clearly enough.
What it means
Google may not have enough shipping data to present the product reliably, or the store may not explain shipping terms clearly enough.
