Can you connect USPS Account instead of Shippo

Is there any way around having to use Shippo for shipping? Specifically for USPS as I am finding that rates directly through the free USPS Business Account are half the cost of what the paid Shippo charges me.

Hi @EBsTeas 👋 Welcome to the Square Community!

I pulled the following information from this Support Article on shipping carriers:

If you want to create shipping labels within Square, you need to connect your Shippo account to Square. Learn how to set up shipping carriers with Shippo.

When connecting to carriers, you have two options: Square rates or pre-negotiated rates with your own account. If you use a Square account, the Square carrier rates will show and you may need to review and agree to the terms and conditions. You can only enable one type of account per carrier. You can connect to USPS, DHL Express, FedEx, and UPS with pre-negotiated rates. These rates are already enabled and available to you.

I hope this information is helpful, but please do let me know if you have any additional questions 🙂

I would like to use my USPS account. I only ship through USPS and my prices are almost have the cost of Shippo. I have no need for Shippo If I had my USPS account linked for their real time rates for my account. I have my own shipping labels. I have my boxes from USPS that are FREE. I have to re-design each box option in Shippo so more work for me. Please let us connect our own USPS accounts for Real Time sipping rates and packaging.
