Postsale Anywhere Chrome Extension

We also have a Quick Tip video to walk you through the information covered in this help article.

Now that we've covered what Postsale Anywhere can do, let's take a closer look. Let's begin by looking at the Postsale Anywhere interface.

When you open the Postsale Anywhere extension, you are presented with two tabs and a settings icon:

Page Tab

The Page tab is used to:

• Read a webpage for order and shipment data
• Preview and edit the imported information
• Create orders, shipments, and create shipping labels

Orders Tab

The Orders tab gives you access to all of your existing Postsale orders so that you can:

• Search for and preview existing order and shipment information

• Open an order in the side panel
  • View or edit the existing shipment information for the order
  • Create, print, or void a shipping label

Settings

Use the Settings icon to access:

• Dark/Light Mode - Toggle between dark and light modes.
• Account Settings - Open the Postsale Account Settings screen in a new browser tab.
• Store Settings - Open the Postsale Store Settings screen in a new browser tab.
• Carrier Settings - Open the Postsale Carrier Settings screen in a new browser tab.
• Pair/Unpair Scale - Use to connect or disconnect a USB scale with Postsale Anywhere.
• Additional Help - Launch the Postsale help center in a new browser tab.
• Logout

Postsale Anywhere can read webpages in your browser to capture order and shipment details, including emails, spreadsheets, marketplace orders, internal tools, chats, and more.

In this example, we'll read an email that includes a request to ship items to three different addresses.

While this walkthrough uses email, the same process works across virtually any webpage.

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 automatically 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:

Let's use Postsale Anywhere to read data from the email for us so that we don't have to copy and paste any information. We'll then use the side panel to review the data and create shipping labels.

Read the Information

1. Make sure that the email is open in Chrome. Then, launch the Postsale Anywhere extension.

   

2. Click the Scan For Shipments button.

   

Postsale Anywhere reads the page for order and shipment information.

After reading the page, Postsale Anywhere creates shipment records directly in the side panel.

In our example, the email includes three separate shipping addresses and a list of items for each shipment. Postsale Anywhere automatically creates three individual records, one for each address, and associates the correct items with each shipment.

There may be times when Postsale Anywhere is unable to read a browser page, or when you only need to create shipments for a select group of addresses. For example, you might be working from a large spreadsheet but only need to process a handful of entries, or you may want to ship to a single address listed on a webpage. In this section, we will walk through how to quickly copy the information you need and paste it directly into Postsale Anywhere.

Copy/Paste a Select Group of Addresses

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.

Let's look at how Postsale Anywhere can quickly create shipments based on the information you paste from your spreadsheet.

We'll use Postsale Anywhere to create shipments for three addresses within a spreadsheet.

Copy/Paste the Shipment & Order Information

1. Make sure that your spreadsheet is open in Chrome. Then, launch the Postsale Anywhere extension.

   

2. Click the Scan For Shipments button.

   

   Postsale Anywhere reads the page for order and shipment information.

   

   If Postsale Anywhere was able to read shipment and order information from the page, it will be displayed in the side panel. Scroll down past the displayed information to locate the Paste text manually field.

   

   In the event that the page was not read successfully, the Paste text manually field will be displayed at the top of the side panel for you.

   

3. Select and copy the shipment and order information you would like to paste into Postsale Anywhere. For our example, we'll copy the cells containing the ship-to and order information for the three order records we want to ship.

   

4. Paste the copied data into the Paste text manually field in Postsale Anywhere. You don't need to worry about how the information is formatted in Postsale Anywhere after pasting it.

   

5. Click Parse Text.

   

   Postsale Anywhere uses AI to read the information and to format and display the individual shipments and order information for you.

   

You are now ready to create your shipping labels.

Copy/Paste an Address from a Webpage

Any address from any webpage can be copied 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.

   

2. Paste the address into the Paste text manually field in Postsale Anywhere. Then, click Parse Text.

   

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

   

   You are now ready to create your shipping 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) Click the Edit icon next to each order to edit or add an order number, edit the ship-to address information, or edit the item details. Be sure to click Save when finished.

   

2. (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.

   

3. (Optional) Select the correct order status from the Status drop-down menu.

   

4. Click the Create & Ship New Order button next to the record you wish to ship.

   

   The side panel changes so that you can configure the shipment information.

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