Hey guys, I'm trying to move over the Stripe since the fees are cheaper than
PayPal. Is there a shipping API within Stripe? I can't seem to find it. PayPal
provides cheaper shipping with USPS and UPS. Was wondering if Stripe does the
same as well.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think Stripe does this, but you can use Pirate Ship to get USPS (and
now UPS) commercial rates.

You can create shipping labels in paypal without having the payment go through
paypal. If you have a stripe payment copy and paste the name/address into paypal
multi-order shipping.

https://www.paypal.com/shiplabel/createbulk

Click "create shipment".

Good point, for single shipments I simply use

https://www.paypal.com/shiplabel/create

Not sure how much they differ though.

Right, but I'm trying to close my PayPal account since they charge you monthly
fees now if you have no transaction. If I move my payment to Stripe, then it's
likely that my PayPal will no longer have any sort of transaction going forward.

PayPal is such a ripoff when other Fintechs charge way less per transaction.

- Shipstation https://www.shipstation.com/
- Sendle https://www.sendle.com
- Stamps.com https://www.stamps.com

You might find that you get fewer orders if you only offer Stripe and not PayPal

Unless something has changed recently, to my knowledge, Paypal does not charge
a monthly fee in that manner.

This is news to me, unless the OP signed up for something without realizing what
the entire package was. I've never seen a monthly fee charged by PP.
