You can now say which days you dispatch orders (#637).
Handling time on its own is ambiguous: "ships in 1 day" on a Friday order reads as Saturday dispatch to anything working out a delivery date. Ticking your working days removes the guesswork.
Set it under Policies → Shipping. Leaving every day unticked publishes nothing, exactly as before — it is not read as "never dispatches".
Published in both places assistants look: on each product alongside the handling time, and once on your store's shipping policy.
Your shipping rates are now published for AI assistants and Google (#635).
Assistants could previously see where you ship and how fast you pack, but nothing about what delivery costs. A product can only carry one shipping price, so a store offering "free over $20, otherwise $20" had no honest number to publish — and we published none rather than a misleading one.
Your shipping zones now appear on your homepage as a store-level policy, where each destination and order-value band carries its own price. Free-over-a-threshold is published as two bands, so an assistant can tell a shopper both what shipping costs now and what it would cost if they spent a little more.
Rates that depend on the basket are left out rather than guessed. A per-item cost, or a flat fee combined with a percentage, can't be stated without knowing the whole order, and a published price that disagrees with your checkout is worse than no price at all.
Where several methods serve the same destination, the cheapest is published, because that is the one Google shows.
Nothing changes on your product pages, and no new settings were added. This is read entirely from the shipping zones you already have.

Stores on WooCommerce 9.9 to 10.2 could hit a blank page (#638).
The plugin reads your shipping zones to work out whether you offer free shipping. It used a WooCommerce function that only exists in 10.3 and later, so on older versions the product page and homepage could fail to load rather than simply skipping that detail.
Zones are now read in a way that works on every WooCommerce version the plugin supports, so nothing is lost on an older install — shipping information is published there too, rather than going quietly missing.
WC tested up to was also stale at 9.9; development runs against 10.9.
