Provided herein are various embodiments of using machine readable technologies for the smart shipping of multiple products. An embodiment operates by receiving a request from a seller to ship a plurality of items that have been sold via an electronic marketplace. Information pertinent to shipping each of the plurality of items is predicted. A shipping company to ship the plurality of items is selected and provided the predicted information. A single machine readable code for shipping the plurality of items using the identified shipping company is determined based at least in part on the predicted information. A confirmation is received from the computing system of the shipping company responsive to the single machine readable code being scanned by a computing device of the computing system of the shipping company, the confirmation indicating that one or more of the plurality of items have been received by shipping company for shipment.

Machine readable technologies for the smart shipping of multiple products

Provided herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for using innovative computer technologies to enable smart shipping of items sold from sellers to buyers. An embodiment performs operations that include: predicting shipping information for shipping an item associated with a first user to a destination designated by a second user, including determining a category of the item to identify similar items from a historical database; storing at least some of the shipping information in databases of an Internet site; and generating a machine readable code associated with the item or the shipping information, wherein a shipper uses information from scanning the code to access and retrieve the shipping information from the databases of the site using an application programming interface (API) of the site, and wherein the shipper uses the retrieved shipping information to ship the item to the destination.
