Title: Streamlined Bulk Purchasing and Printing of USPS Shipping Labels for WooCommerce

Summary:
Introduce a feature in WooCommerce that enables merchants to purchase and print USPS shipping labels in bulk directly from the WooCommerce dashboard. This functionality would save time, reduce manual work, and improve operational efficiency for store owners handling large volumes of orders.

Detailed Description:
Shipping is a critical part of the e-commerce workflow, and the current process for purchasing and printing USPS shipping labels in WooCommerce can be tedious when dealing with multiple orders. This proposed feature would allow users to:

Select Multiple Orders: Enable users to select multiple orders at once from the WooCommerce Orders page.
Batch Processing: Provide an option to bulk purchase USPS shipping labels for the selected orders.
Bulk Printing: Allow users to print all purchased shipping labels in a single operation, formatted for easy integration with standard label printers.
Shipping Configuration Options:
Choose individual or default shipping methods for each order during bulk processing.
Automatically calculate shipping costs based on predefined package weights and dimensions.
Display estimated delivery times for each shipment.
Integrated Tracking: Automatically attach USPS tracking information to each corresponding order and notify customers via email or the order dashboard.
Error Handling: Notify users of any errors (e.g., invalid addresses or insufficient shipping method configuration) before completing the bulk purchase process.
Benefits:

Time Savings: Drastically reduce the time spent on individual label purchases and printing, particularly for merchants with high order volumes.
Improved Efficiency: Streamline shipping workflows, enabling businesses to fulfill orders faster.
Enhanced User Experience: Offer a seamless shipping solution that eliminates the need for third-party integrations or manual interventions.
Cost Optimization: Leverage WooCommerce’s native USPS integration to manage shipping costs effectively.
Additional Considerations:

User Interface: A dedicated bulk action dropdown on the Orders page to access this functionality.
Customization Options: Allow merchants to customize label formats, select printer types, and configure packaging preferences.
Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with existing WooCommerce USPS shipping plugins and extensions.
Conclusion:
By adding bulk purchasing and printing of USPS shipping labels, WooCommerce can enhance its value proposition for online merchants. This feature would position WooCommerce as a more robust, user-friendly platform for e-commerce businesses looking to scale their operations.

We believe this feature will drive higher satisfaction among WooCommerce users and contribute to operational excellence in shipping management.
