Short product description help

    From what I understand, the short description of a woocommerce product is also indexed in search engines, so it is better not to use the same short description for different products? Because in the short description I used phrases like: free shipping worldwide, 1 month warranty etc.. and I repeated it for each product, but this is wrong, right? Because it would result in the same short description for each product. But since it is information that I want to include in the products, I better insert an image with this description, so the text is not indexed and is not recognized as a copy of other descriptions, right? And how important is the short product description really for SEO? Is it possible to leave it blank too?
    For SEO I use the Yoast plugin

    Update:
    In another thread they replied that google / search engines do not consider words like “free shipping” ,”1 month warranty” as duplicate content, as they are often used by websites that sell products, is this true?

    So if in the short description, I enter the product name for example “iPhone 10 32GB” +

    • In stock
    • Free worldwide tracked and insured shipping
    • Power supply (PSU) included
    • No customs duty
    • 30 days return policy
    • Buyer protection

      Won’t it be penalized by search engines?
      The product name changes for each product, but that list remains the same (in stock, free worldwide shipping etc)
      Is it my list of words, does it fall within the type of words that can be repeated for each product?
      Or is it better to insert an image containing that list?

    Thanks
