Postsale Anywhere App

Turn a screenshot into a shipment | See it. Capture it. Ship it.

Updated July 2, 20262 min readPostsale Anywhere

Shipping data often comes from emails, spreadsheets, internal tools, text documents, chat messages, and other sources, as well as from your connected systems.

The Postsale Anywhere app is a Menu Bar (Mac) and Taskbar (Windows) application that uses AI to read a screenshot of order and shipment details. It then pulls in the addresses, items, and order info into Postsale. You can then review the details, compare USPS, UPS, and FedEx rates, and print your labels right inside the Postsale Anywhere app.

Quick Tip Video

We also have a Quick Tip video that covers the information contained in this help article.

  • Phone orders typed into documents
  • Chat messages and customer DMs

How Postsale Anywhere Reads Shipping Data

Single Button Click

With a single button click, Postsale Anywhere:

  1. Allows you to take a screenshot of your shipment and order details

Copy shipment and order information from any open source and paste it directly into Postsale Anywhere. This is a great option when:

After pasting your content, Postsale Anywhere:

  1. Reads the pasted information and identifies order and shipment data using AI

Capture Shipment and Order Information from an Email

In this example, we'll screen-capture part of an email that includes a request to ship specific items to three different addresses.

While this walkthrough uses an email, the same process works with any source you can capture a screenshot from.

Real-World Example

Our shipping department is often provided a list of orders to fulfill via an email from our sales department. The shipping department staff has to copy and paste the shipping addresses, item information, and item quantities from the email into the shipping software so that labels can be created.

We need a way to quickly import the order details and shipping addresses to save time and reduce the number of errors made.

Postsale Anywhere is designed specifically for this type of situation. For example, here's an email sent internally asking the shipping department to ship 3 orders:

An email is shown with specific items and three addresses.

Let's use Postsale Anywhere to capture a screenshot of the items and addresses in the email so that we don't have to copy and paste any information.

Capture the Information

  1. Make sure the email is open. Then, launch the Postsale app.
  2. Click the Capture Address button.
  3. Click and drag to select the portion of the screen you wish to include in the capture. In our example, we selected the portion of the email with the item and address information.

Postsale Anywhere analyzes the capture and creates shipment records.

A screen capture is taken of the addresses and items in the email and converted to shipments in Postsale Anywhere.

You're ready to print your labels.

Capture Shipment and Order Information from a Spreadsheet

Let's look at how to grab a screen capture of part of a spreadsheet containing rows of orders. In this case, we will capture a few rows from the spreadsheet.

While this walkthrough uses a spreadsheet, the same process works with any source you can capture a screenshot from.

Real-World Example

We receive spreadsheets that contain hundreds of Ship To addresses along with order details. However, many times we only need to create shipments for a select few of those addresses.

We would like a quick and efficient way to create shipping labels for only the addresses we need.

Capture the Information

  1. Make sure the spreadsheet is open. Then, launch the Postsale app.
  2. Click the Capture Address button.
  3. Click and drag to select the rows you wish to include in the capture. In our example, we selected the rows with the item and address information we need.

Postsale Anywhere analyzes the capture and creates shipment records.

A capture is taken of three rows in the spreadsheet and shipments are created in Postsale Anywhere.

You're ready to print your labels.

Copy/Paste Information into Postsale Anywhere

You can also copy an address and paste it into Postsale Anywhere.

In this example, we will copy an address from a web page and paste it into Postsale Anywhere. Any address from any webpage can be copied from the page and pasted into Postsale Anywhere. This is a great way to create quick, one-off shipping labels.

  1. Select and copy the address information on the webpage.

    An address is selected and copied.
  2. Paste the address into the Paste text manually field in Postsale Anywhere. Then, click Parse Text.

    The text is pasted and the button is being clicked.

    Postsale uses AI to read the information and display the shipment information for you.

    The copied information is turned into a shipment.

    You are now ready to create your shipping label.

Review the Information and Create Labels

Now that the shipment and order information is displayed for you in Postsale Anywhere, you are ready to create your shipping labels.

Be sure to review the information for each new shipment to ensure it is correct.

  1. (Optional) Verify that each record is associated with the correct store in Postsale. This is useful when you have multiple stores in Postsale and wish to associate the order and shipment with a specific store.

    The correct store is being selected from the Store drop-down.
  2. (Optional) Select the correct order status from the Status drop-down menu.

    Ready to Ship is being selected from the Status drop-down menu.
  3. (Optional) Click the Edit icon next to each order to edit or add an order number, edit the ship to address information, or to edit the item details. Be sure to click Save when finished.

    The edit icon is clicked and the order editor is open.
  4. Click the Create & Ship New Order next to the record you wish to ship.

    The create and ship new order button is being clicked.

    The app changes so that you can configure the shipment.

  5. Configure the shipment's packaging, dimensions, weight, and any additional settings as appropriate.

    The shipment is being configured.
  6. Create and Print your shipping label. Check out these help articles for more information on configuring shipments, creating shipping labels, and printing them.

    The create label button is being clicked.
  7. Repeat steps 3-6 for each record you wish to create and ship a new order.
