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!

1. Generate Picklist

   • This extracts order data and SKUs
   • Needed for label processing
   • See Picklist Guide

2. Verify SKUs

   • Check that SKUs are detected
   • Add missing SKUs if needed
   • Labels will include these SKUs

Step 2: Process Labels

1. Click “Process Labels”

   • In the extension popup
   • After picklist is generated
   • Button appears when ready

2. Wait for Processing

   • Extension fetches all labels from Vinted (all tiers) or Depop (Grow & Unlimited tiers)
   • Crops to 4x6 format
   • Injects SKUs
   • Merges into PDF
   • Usually takes 30-60 seconds

3. Download PDF

   • PDF downloads automatically
   • Contains all labels
   • Ready to print

Label Format 📄

Standard 4x6 Labels

All labels are processed to:

• Size: 4x6 inches (standard label size)
• Format: PDF
• Quality: High resolution for printing
• SKU Placement: Bottom of label

Label Contents

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, 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!

1. Process Labels Normally

   • Click “Process Labels” as usual
   • fetchin detects high-value orders automatically
   • Digital labels are included in your batch PDF

2. Print & Attach

   • Print the 4x6 PDF page just like regular labels
   • Stick it on your package
   • Same workflow - no confusion!

3. 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

4. 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

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

1. Automatic Detection

   • SKUs from picklist are used
   • Injected at bottom of label
   • Clear, readable font

2. Format

   • SKU appears as: SKU: ABC123
   • Positioned at bottom
   • Won’t cover important info

3. Missing SKUs

   • If SKU not detected, label still processes
   • You can add SKU manually later
   • Or regenerate with SKU patterns set up

Printing Labels 🖨️

Best Practices

1. Print All at Once

   • Print the entire PDF
   • All labels in one go
   • Saves time

2. Label Order

   • No guessing which label goes where

3. Label Paper
