Trying to match PayPal shipping rates

    Hello,

    My client currently has a store (not WP based) that sends order shipping info to PayPal while the customer is paying… she can then go into PayPal and purchase and print her label from PayPal. I am creating a new WooCommerce store to replace her existing store. She is adamant that the new store match the amount she pays PayPal for the shipping… at the very least she wants the amount the customer pays for shipping to be exactly or just very slightly less than what she pays to ship the order.

    She also doesn’t want a new monthly charge (my initial thought was to use the ShipStation plug-in since PayPal uses ShipStation, but that would require a minimum of $9.99 monthly fee.

    Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Hi @steveax

    Thanks for reaching out!

    I understand your client’s concerns about matching the shipping costs on their new WooCommerce store with what they currently pay through PayPal, and I’m happy to help you find a solution that meets their requirements.

    To ensure that the shipping costs paid by the customer are either equal to or slightly less than what your client pays for shipping, you can use the built-in shipping options in WooCommerce.

    You can find more information about WooCommerce Shipping on this support documentation: https://woocommerce.com/documentation/woocommerce/getting-started/shipping/

    As for printing shipping labels, WooCommerce does not have a built-in feature to print shipping labels directly from PayPal. However, there are alternative solutions that do not require a monthly fee:

    1. Use the free WooCommerce Shipping plugin: This plugin allows you to print USPS and DHL shipping labels directly from your WooCommerce dashboard. You can also access discounted shipping rates from these carriers.
    2. Use a third-party shipping label printing service.

    Hope this helps!
