5. Enable or disable the estimated delivery date in your order code snippet. Google Customer Reviews allows you to report an estimated amount of days from shipment until delivery. This is not required but is recommended. You can then select the amount of days for each installed shipping method.

6. Use the shipping method mapping to assign Google Trusted Stores accepted values to each installed shipping method (recommended). If this is not done the plugin will do its best to assign the correct value. The plugin will only return accepted values.
