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

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

Resize and Reposition the App

Grab any edge or corner of the Postsale Anywhere app to resize it. To reposition the app, click and drag the Title bar.

Tabs and Settings

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

Ship Tab

The Ship tab is used to:

• Capture address and order information from a screenshot
• Paste shipping information
• Preview and edit the imported information
• Create orders and shipments, and to 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 to:
  • View or edit the existing shipment information for the order
  • Create, print, or void a shipping label

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:

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.

You're ready to print your labels.

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.

You're ready to print your labels.

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.
   
   
    
2. Paste the address into the Paste text manually field in Postsale Anywhere. Then, click Parse Text.
   
   
   
   Postsale uses AI to read the information and display the shipment information for you.
   
   
   
   You are now ready to create your shipping label.

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.
   
   
    
2. (Optional) Select the correct order status 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.
   
   
    
4. Click the Create & Ship New Order next to the record you wish to ship.
   
   
   
   The app changes so that you can configure the shipment.
   
   

   Default Shipping Settings and Shipping Rules Apply

   When configured, your default shipping settings and any shipping rules you have configured in Postsale automatically apply to the shipment, just like when you are working directly in Postsale.

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

   Read Weights from a Scale

   Postsale Anywhere attempts to detect when a USB scale is connected to your computer. However, you may be prompted to connect the HID device. The prompt you are presented with will differ slightly depending on the scale you are connecting to. 

   If prompted, verify that the scale is connected to your computer and powered on. Then, select the scale from the list of available devices and click Connect.

   

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

   Automations are Triggered

   Any automations you have configured in Postsale, such as sending a shipment notification email to your customer when a label is created, are triggered just like when you are working directly in Postsale.

    
   
   
    
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for each record you wish to create and ship a new order.
