Shipping rate name - The name you provide here will be seen by customers using your website during the checkout process.
Estimated delivery time - The amount of time it will take for the goods to reach the customer.

Publishing your store
Now that you have completed the Store setup process, click on the Activate your store button to finalize it.
Go back to your site builder and Publish the site to make the store visible to all your site visitors. Further changes within the Store plugin will not require you to publish in order for the changes to go live.
