Shipping Integration
Taking payments through Stripe Checkout or Payment Links? Your orders sync straight to Royal Mail Click & Drop — no spreadsheet, no copying addresses, no mistakes.
Plenty of businesses sell without a shop platform — a Stripe Payment Link on a Framer or Webflow site, an invoice, a booking page, a checkout embedded in a custom build. Stripe takes the money and captures the delivery address, but getting that order to Royal Mail is still a copy-and-paste job.
This integration closes that gap. We read your completed Stripe payments and push each one into Royal Mail Click & Drop through Royal Mail's official API, ready for you to buy postage and print.
£6.99 per month after a free first month. That covers the integration itself, ongoing updates and support — no per-order or per-label fees on top.
Yes — that's exactly what it's for. If you sell through Stripe Payment Links, an invoice, a booking form or a checkout built into your own site, you have orders but no shipping system. This gives you one without moving to Shopify or WooCommerce.
A restricted API key with read-only access, which you create in your Stripe dashboard and can revoke at any time. It cannot move money, issue refunds or change anything in your account — it only reads completed orders. We'll also need your Royal Mail Click & Drop authorisation key, and we'll walk you through both.
Only if you've asked it to. In Stripe Checkout and Payment Links there's a shipping-address collection setting that needs to be switched on. If it's off, Stripe has no address to give us and there's nothing to ship against. It's a two-minute change and we'll check it as part of setup — but it's worth knowing that orders taken before it was enabled can't be recovered.
We focus on one-off purchases that need posting. If you run subscriptions that ship physical goods on a recurring basis, tell us during onboarding — it's supportable, but we'd agree the rules with you first so renewals don't generate unwanted labels.
Stripe doesn't hold product weights, so we set a default weight per item at setup and apply it to each order. That's enough for Royal Mail to price correctly for most senders with a consistent product range. You always see the order in Click & Drop before buying postage, so you can adjust anything unusual.
Yes — that's handled by Royal Mail's own Shipping Rules engine inside Click & Drop, which applies a service to each incoming order based on rules you define.
A common weight-based setup:
Either works. The integration talks to Royal Mail's API regardless of whether you're on a standard Click & Drop subscription or a Royal Mail OBA business account.
Stripe and Royal Mail both change their systems from time to time. We monitor those changes, patch the integration when needed, and answer questions over email or a scheduled call — all included in the subscription.
You can cancel any time with 30 days' notice. The integration carries on running during the notice period and then stops — without an active subscription, it won't continue to sync.
Yes — we regularly connect Stripe to accounting tools, CRMs, fulfilment systems and bespoke dashboards. Get in touch and tell us what you're trying to build.
