Methods and systems for producing shipping labels are provided. Example
embodiments provide a Shipping Label Production System ("SLPS"), which
produces shipping labels based on a shipping uniform resource identifier
("URI") that identifies a shipping protocol and includes shipment
information and post-back information. The SLPS may be configured to
produce, in accordance with the shipping protocol, a shipping label by
outputting a shipping label based on the shipment information, and
automatically posting information about the producing of the shipping
label to a code module identified by the post-back information. In some
embodiments, the actions of the SLPS may be initiated by a Web browser in
response to a user selection of a shipping URI. This abstract is provided
to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the
intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or
meaning of the claims.
