The way to configure this option, you will firstly need a custom rate on your store for the shipping. This can be done through such extension as Premium Matrixrate and Product Matrix.

Once you have this you will need to configure the ‘USPS through Endicia’ extension so that the option ‘Use Shipping labels’ is set to Yes. In this scenario the extension can be either Enabled or Disabled through this admin panel as it will display the Shipping Labels in both scenarios.
