Policy
LOWOfferShippingDetails deliveryTime is a valid ShippingDeliveryTime
When present, `deliveryTime` is a ShippingDeliveryTime with handlingTime and/or transitTime populated. Without populated handling/transit times, agents can't quote a delivery window in shopping cards.
What this check looks for
We require `deliveryTime` to be an object with at least one of `handlingTime` or `transitTime` populated as a QuantitativeValue (any of `value`, `minValue`, `maxValue` parseable as a finite number). The legacy v1 SD-014 check required BOTH; v2 softens this to either, matching Google's actual rich-result behavior.

How to fix it
Emit a ShippingDeliveryTime with handlingTime and/or transitTime populated
Shopify
Developer- Settings → Shipping and delivery → Processing time: set handling time per location.
- Emit `handlingTime.maxValue` from this setting and `transitTime` from your carrier API in your theme's product JSON-LD.
BigCommerce
Developer- Edit your product template to emit ShippingDeliveryTime with handlingTime and/or transitTime as QuantitativeValue blocks.
WooCommerce
Developer- Yoast/AIOSEO's merchant-listings add-on emits ShippingDeliveryTime from your WooCommerce shipping-method config.
- If using a custom snippet, hook `woocommerce_structured_data_product`.
Custom / headless
Developer- Emit ShippingDeliveryTime with at least one populated sub-time.

}The spec it's pinned to
Google shipping-policy SD — deliveryTime as ShippingDeliveryTime
Google's shipping-policy SD recognizes deliveryTime as a ShippingDeliveryTime object with handlingTime and/or transitTime populated. Either is enough; both is preferred.
