Label Processing Guide 🏷️

Automate your shipping label workflow. Process all labels at once with SKUs pre-injected!

What is Label Processing? 🤔

Label processing automatically:

✅ Fetches all shipping labels from Vinted & Depop
✅ Crops them to 4x6 format (standard label size)
✅ Injects SKUs onto each label
✅ Merges into one PDF for printing

Note: Depop label processing is available for Grow and Unlimited subscription tiers. Vinted label processing is available for all tiers.

Result: One PDF with all labels ready to print, with SKUs already on each label!

How It Works 🔄

Step 1: Generate Picklist First

Important: Always generate a picklist before processing labels!

Generate Picklist
- This extracts order data and SKUs
- Needed for label processing
- See Picklist Guide
Verify SKUs
- Check that SKUs are detected
- Add missing SKUs if needed
- Labels will include these SKUs

Step 2: Process Labels

⚠️ Important for Vinted Users: Do NOT manually click “Get shipping label” in Vinted for your orders. fetchin automatically requests and fetches all shipping labels from Vinted during this step. If you’ve already requested labels manually, the order status changes from “Payment successful!” to “Shipping label sent to seller”, and those orders won’t appear in your picklist or be processed. Let fetchin handle everything automatically!

Click “Process Labels”
- In the extension popup
- After picklist is generated
- Button appears when ready
Wait for Processing
- Extension automatically requests and fetches all labels from Vinted (all tiers) or Depop (Grow & Unlimited tiers)
- For Vinted: Extension requests labels for all orders in “Payment successful!” status
- Crops to 4x6 format
- Injects SKUs
- Merges into PDF
- Usually takes 30-60 seconds
Download PDF
- PDF downloads automatically
- Contains all labels
- Ready to print

Digital Labels for High-Value Orders 📱

What Are Digital Labels?

For orders over £100, Vinted requires digital labels instead of printable labels. fetchin automatically handles this by generating professional 4x6 PDF pages with QR codes that work exactly like regular labels!

Automatic Detection & Handling

fetchin automatically:

✅ Detects when an order is over £100
✅ Requests digital labels from Vinted automatically
✅ Generates professional 4x6 PDF pages with the QR code
✅ Includes all necessary information on the label

You don’t need to do anything different - just process labels as normal and fetchin handles it automatically!

What Digital Label PDFs Include

Each digital label PDF page contains:

Carrier Name - Which courier (Yodel, Evri, Royal Mail, etc.)
“Scan digital label” - Clear instructions
QR Code Image - Large, scannable QR code
Fallback Code - If QR doesn’t scan, use this code instead
SKU/Bundle ID - Your order identifier
Receiver Name - Who the package is going to

Using Digital Labels

Same Workflow as Regular Labels!

Process Labels Normally
- Click “Process Labels” as usual
- fetchin detects high-value orders automatically
- Digital labels are included in your batch PDF
Print & Attach
- Print the 4x6 PDF page just like regular labels
- Stick it on your package
- Same workflow - no confusion!
At the Drop-Off Point
- Staff scans the QR code from the printed label on your package
- They apply their shipping label on top
- No need to get your phone out - everything is on the printed label!
- If QR doesn’t scan, staff can use the fallback code shown on the label
Works with Bundles
- Bundle orders over £100 also use digital labels
- Bundle ID is shown on the label
- All bundle items are included
- Print and attach just like regular bundle labels

Digital vs Printable Labels

Feature	Printable Labels	Digital Labels
When Used	Orders under £100	Orders over £100
Format	Standard shipping label	QR code on 4x6 page
Printing	Print and attach	Print and attach (same!)
Workflow	Print → Stick on package	Print → Stick on package (same!)
At Drop-Off	Staff scans barcode	Staff scans QR code from printed label
SKU Display	Injected on label	Shown below QR code
Bundle Support	✅ Yes	✅ Yes

Key Point: Digital labels follow the exact same workflow as regular labels - you print the 4x6 PDF, stick it on your package, and staff at the drop-off point scans the QR code from the printed label. No phone needed!

Note: Digital labels are automatically included in your batch PDFs alongside regular labels - no separate processing needed!

SKU Injection 🏷️

How SKUs Are Added

Automatic Detection
- SKUs from picklist are used
- Injected at bottom of label
- Clear, readable font
Format
- SKU appears as: SKU: ABC123
- Positioned at bottom
- Won’t cover important info
Missing SKUs
- If SKU not detected, label still processes
- You can add SKU manually later
- Or regenerate with SKU patterns set up

Troubleshooting 🔧

Labels Not Processing

Possible Causes:

No picklist generated first
No labels available on Vinted or Depop
Extension connection issue
For Depop: Not on Grow or Unlimited tier
For Vinted: Labels were manually requested in Vinted (order status changed, so extension can’t detect them)

Solutions:

Generate picklist first
For Vinted: Make sure you haven’t manually clicked “Get shipping label” in Vinted - fetchin handles this automatically during “Process Labels”. Orders must be in “Payment successful!” status to be detected
Check Vinted or Depop has labels ready
For Depop: Ensure you have Grow or Unlimited subscription
Refresh extension and try again

Digital Label Issues

If Digital Labels Don’t Generate:

Check Order Value - Digital labels only for orders over £100
Vinted Requirements - Vinted may require digital labels for high-value orders
Automatic Handling - fetchin handles this automatically, no action needed
Mixed Batches - Your PDF may contain both printable and digital labels - this is normal!

If QR Code Doesn’t Scan:

Staff can use the fallback code shown on the printed label
Ensure the printed QR code is clear and not damaged
Make sure the label is printed at full size (4x6 inches)
Contact support if issues persist

SKUs Not on Labels

Why This Happens:

SKUs not detected in picklist
SKU patterns not set up
Unusual SKU format

Solutions:

Set up SKU patterns (see SKU Patterns)
Manually add SKUs before processing
Regenerate picklist with patterns
