Abstract: An indication to display is received, in the context of a display page associated with a site platform, a shipping label management interface. In response to the indication, an embedded shipping label management element is displayed wherein the embedded shipping label management element is configured to obtain, via a front-end client call to a shipping management service provider with which the embedded shipping label management element is associated, one or more rate quotes to ship an item from a source location to a destination location. Within a display area associated with the embedded shipping label management element, at least a subset of the one or more rate quotes is displayed. Via a user input provided in the context of the embedded shipping label management element, a selection of a selected rate to ship the item is received. A shipping label to ship the item at the selected rate to be printed is caused.

Abstract: A response object is received from a carrier that includes a shipment identifier that identifies a shipment uniquely and globally within a multi-carrier shipping service domain. A response object type of the response object is determined. The response object is validated, including by determining whether the response object is formatted in a manner associated with the response object type and includes one or more required values associated with the response object type. A shipping event related operation is performed using data comprising the response object based at least in part on a determination that the response object is formatted in the manner associated with the response object type and includes one or more required values associated with the response object type.
