All use cases

Extract shipping label data into CSV or Excel

For ecommerce sellers, warehouse teams, and last-mile operations that receive label PDFs from Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, Temu, carrier portals, ShipStation, or shipping aggregators. Detect tracking numbers, mark the fields you need, save fixed layouts as templates, and export reviewable rows.

Why this workflow matters

Shipping labels contain useful data, but the data is often trapped inside PDFs.

A label batch may include tracking numbers, order numbers, recipient addresses, SKUs, references, service names, and internal notes. The file is easy to print, but painful to turn back into spreadsheet data.

Teams usually need this data for tracking lookup, shipment updates, order matching, address checks, warehouse cleanup, or exception handling. Copying from every page by hand is slow and easy to mismatch.

The flexible part is field selection. Tracking numbers can be detected automatically, while order numbers, addresses, SKUs, and references can be marked on the label, saved as a template, and reused on matching pages.

After review, the result can be exported to CSV or Excel and used in Shopify, TikTok Shop, Temu, ERP, WMS, or internal operations spreadsheets.

Workflow steps
1
Upload label PDFs
Start with the original shipping label PDF from Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, Temu, a carrier portal, ShipStation, or another shipping platform.
2
Detect tracking numbers
Tracking numbers are detected from the label first, so the main carrier number is already available before custom fields are added.
3
Mark custom fields
Mark order number, recipient address, SKU, reference, or another printed field on a sample label.
4
Save the layout as a template
For labels with the same layout, save the field positions and reuse the template next time instead of marking the same fields again.
5
Review and export
Check missing or suspicious rows, edit values if needed, then export CSV or Excel for the next system.
Good fit
Ecommerce sellers matching tracking numbers with order numbers.
Warehouse and 3PL teams turning label PDFs into CSV or Excel files.
Last-mile operations checking addresses, references, and shipment data.
Not a fit
Official carrier tracking status lookup.
Buying postage, creating shipments, or changing valid carrier label data.
Mixed label layouts where every page needs different field positions.

FAQ

Can I extract custom fields from shipping label PDFs?

Yes. Mark a field such as order number, address, SKU, or reference on a sample label, then apply that position to pages with the same layout.

Can I save the fields as a reusable template?

Yes. If your labels use the same layout, save the field positions as a template and apply it to later batches without setting everything up again.

Can this export shipping label data to Excel?

Yes. After extraction and review, export the results as CSV or Excel rows for spreadsheets, Shopify, ERP, WMS, or marketplace workflows.

What fields can I extract from a shipping label?

Common fields include tracking number, order number, recipient address, SKU, reference number, service type, and printed notes. Accuracy depends on label quality and consistent layout.

Is this only for USPS labels?

No. The workflow can be used with USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and other shipping label PDFs when the label data is visible and the layout can be reviewed.

Will this verify whether an address is correct?

No. It extracts the address into a table for review. Use your order system, customer record, or carrier tools to confirm questionable addresses.
