The "Shipping" section is designed to display important information related to your store's shipping policy. It's an ideal place to clarify delivery terms, estimated shipping times, costs, and other special options. By providing transparent information directly on product or landing pages, you can build customer trust and minimize shipping-related inquiries.

1. How to access the Shipping section?

Step 01: From Shopify Admin, click on Online Store > Select Themes > In the Current theme section, click the Customize button.

Step 02: In the theme editor (Customize), click the Sections button > Click the Add section button > In the Sections tab, scroll through the list or use the search bar to find and select the Shipping section.

2. How to customize the Shipping section?
