Today's Etsy Orders Into a Packing List

For makers who pack their own orders. DuckyHelper learns Etsy's shop web API once, reads today's orders with their options and notes, and makes one packing list grouped by item, plus a shipping sheet with addresses.

Today's Etsy Orders Into a Packing List

A run, drawn from this page · early access on Mac

WHERE IT ASKS FIRST

Nothing to send, so it runs straight through.

Nothing in this job sends a message or pays for anything, so it works through to the end and tells you when it's done. If a step ever would, it's built to stop and ask you first.

If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.

MAKE IT ALWAYS ON

Do it once. Then let it repeat.

When it's done, it offers to keep doing it: every weekday at 8:00 AM. Each run goes through the API it learned the first time, so it's quick, and it's still built to ask before it sends or pays.

Always-on automations are in early access on Mac.

FAQ

Before you ask it.

What do I say?

Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Make a packing list from today's Etsy orders grouped by item, with gift notes and custom options."

Why is the second time faster?

The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for Etsy and Google Sheets and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.

Will it send anything without me?

It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.

Why not just do it by hand?

Packing means opening each order for its options and gift notes, and the one personalized detail gets missed.

Can it keep doing this on its own?

Yes. When it's done it offers to make it automatic (every weekday at 8:00 AM). Each run goes the same way and is still built to ask before it sends or pays.

Can I use this today?
