Get Buyer, Item, Quantity, and Payment Confirmation from a KakaoTalk Group Buy Chat, Without Retyping a Single Order
Retyping each participant's order, quantity, and payment confirmation out of a KakaoTalk group buy chat can eat an hour per round. This pulls the same fields in 5-10 seconds per screenshot.

Two Kinds of Fields Hiding in One KakaoTalk Thread
The order details you pack from and the payment confirmations you check are buried in the same scrolling chat. Type the column names your order log needs once, and the AI pulls those values from any message, whether the organizer posted a numbered list or buyers typed free text.
Order-Content Fields
The product in each order, like "치킨 2마리" or "아기물티슈 1박스", read from free-text messages or a numbered list the organizer posted.
Units per order, like "2마리", "1박스", or "3개", told apart from the item name by the number around it.
The won amount per order, like 24,000원, kept with its currency marker so rows stay easy to total.
Bank name (은행명), account number (계좌번호), and depositor name (입금자명) from transfer confirmations, whether posted as a KakaoPay card or a pasted bank app screenshot.
Chat Details That Make the List Usable
The display name above each bubble, and the anchor that lets you regroup one buyer's scattered messages.
When each message was sent, the field that turns a jumbled thread back into chronological order.
Text, photo, or transfer screenshot, so you can separate order messages from payment proof at a glance.
The organizer's "확인" or "입금 확인" reply that marks a deposit as received, pulled out as its own value instead of getting lost in the scroll.
| Item Name | Quantity | Amount | Buyer | Bank Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 치킨 | 2마리 | 24,000원 | 민수 | 국민은행 123456-78-901234 |
| 아기물티슈 | 1박스 | 12,500원 | 지은 | 카카오뱅크 3333-01-1234567 |
One realistic row per order message, with the order content and the chat details side by side.
When Orders Arrive as Chat Messages, There Is No Form to Match a Template Against
When a group buy runs on a Google Form or a shopping link, the order arrives structured. When it runs on chat messages in a KakaoTalk Open Chat (오픈채팅) room, there is nothing to match: dozens of participants, no shared format, and no database behind any of it. Sellers describe the aftermath plainly. One small business owner on Reddit writes that it "gets messy tracking orders, payments, scheduling, and follow-ups across DM, Notes, and random spreadsheets." A KakaoTalk group buy is that same problem inside one scrolling room.
No Fixed Format to Match
One organizer posts a numbered list ("1. 김민수, 치킨 2마리"), the next collects free-text replies ("치킨 2마리 부탁합니다"), and a third gets follow-the-leader replies ("저도 같이요"). A tool that needs one fixed layout per round breaks on every new round.
One Buyer, Two or Three Messages, Days Apart
The order message, the deposit (입금) confirmation with a transfer screenshot, and the address message arrive at different times. A tool that reads one screenshot as one record cannot link them back to the same person.
Orders, Payments, and Small Talk in One Stream
Transfer screenshots sit between jokes and status questions. Plain OCR dumps everything as one flat text block, so you get a wall of words with no way to tell an order from a meme.
No Layout to Configure
With Custom Column Extraction you type the columns, Item, Quantity, and Amount, and the AI finds those values in every message by meaning. Numbered lists, free text, or "저도 같이요": the same columns work across every round.
Chat Details Reconnect Scattered Messages
Because sender nickname (닉네임) and timestamp are extracted as their own columns, the deposit confirmation from Tuesday and the order from Monday carry the same nickname. Regroup them in your spreadsheet in seconds.
Transfer Screenshots Are Read, Not Dropped
KakaoTalk's own chat export saves text and leaves images behind, so the payment proof never makes it into the file. This reads the pasted transfer screenshots inside the thread and pulls the bank details straight from the image.
From a Group Buy Chat Thread to a Packing List and a Payment Check in Three Steps
If you run a KakaoTalk group buy (공동구매, or 공구 for short) for groceries, baby goods, or cosmetics, here is how a stack of screenshots becomes the order log you pack from, without retyping a single order.
Screenshot the Chat Thread
Open the Open Chat (오픈채팅) room and capture the order messages as they scroll, including the deposit confirmations. PNG, JPG, or WebP, one file or a whole batch of rounds from the same week.
Name the Columns Your Order Log Needs
Type the output columns: Buyer, Item, Quantity, Amount, Bank Transfer Details, and Timestamp. The AI reads each message once and fills every column you named, wherever the value sits in the thread.
Download the List and Check Who Has Paid
5-10 seconds later you have an XLSX or CSV with one row per message. Sort by nickname to regroup one buyer's messages, or filter the rows that have no bank details to see who still needs a payment reminder.
When KakaoTalk Group Buy Extraction Works, and Where It Stops
When It Works Best
Machine-rendered chat text. KakaoTalk's chat font, KakaoPay transfer cards, and bank app screenshots are printed text, the strongest case for accuracy, up to 99% on printed data.
Orders and payment proof in one thread. Text orders mixed with pasted transfer screenshots are read together, so a payment stays attached to the right order row.
Many rounds, one set of columns. Screenshots from different group buy (공동구매) rounds process together into one list with identical columns.
When to Be Cautious
It extracts data, it does not run the books. The tool does not total what each buyer owes, track a running deposit balance, or reconcile payments across days. Building "who owes what" from the extracted rows is spreadsheet work, on purpose.
Handwritten deposit slips. If a buyer photographs a handwritten transfer note, the account number may be misread. Machine-rendered transfer screenshots are reliable, handwriting less so.
Old KakaoTalk layouts and split threads. Each screenshot is processed on its own, so capture the full thread in one scroll when you can. Very old app layouts may render differently.
Frequently Asked Questions
One participant's order arrives as three messages over several days: the order itself, the deposit (입금) confirmation, and the address. Will they land in separate rows?
Yes, each message becomes its own row, and that is the point. Because sender nickname and timestamp are extracted as columns, all three messages carry the same nickname and their real dates, so you can filter by nickname to pull one participant's order, payment, and address together in seconds. The tool does not merge them for you, but it gives you the details to do it reliably.
Can I pull the bank account number (계좌번호) and bank name (은행명) from a transfer screenshot someone pasted into the chat?
Yes. Define a Bank Transfer Details column, and the AI reads both KakaoPay transfer cards and pasted bank app screenshots inside the thread. It identifies the bank name, the account number, and the depositor name (입금자명) wherever they appear, whether in a styled card or a raw screenshot.
My buyers order in completely different formats, numbered lists, free text, and follow-the-leader replies. Do I need a separate setup for each round?
No. Custom Column Extraction works on meaning, not on a fixed layout. Define Item, Quantity, and Amount once, and the AI finds those values in every message, whether the organizer numbers orders like "1. 김민수, 치킨 2마리, 24,000원" or someone types "치킨 2마리 부탁합니다". No per-round configuration.
The chat is full of small talk between orders. How do I keep random messages out of my order list?
Name a column like Order? and let the AI mark which messages are actual orders. A Message Type column separates text orders from photos and transfer screenshots, and messages that match none of your columns simply leave blank cells.
Can it work out who still hasn't paid (미입금)?
Partially, and honestly: it extracts every deposit confirmation visible in the screenshots, so unpaid buyers are the ones with no matching transfer row. It will not track a running balance across separate screenshot uploads or days, because that reconciliation is spreadsheet work.
