Pull Each Buyer's Name and Amount from a LINE Group Buy Thread, Without Tallying 50 Replies by Hand
Copying each participant's name, item, and amount out of a sprawling LINE group buy thread can eat 15 minutes per round. This pulls every order from the same screenshot in 5-10 seconds, with the NT$, ¥, or ฿ amount each buyer typed.

What You Can Pull from a LINE Group Buy Screenshot
A LINE group buy leaves dozens of orders scattered through one long chat in a LINE group (群組) or Open Chat (社群), each reply a bare +1, a size, or a quantity. With Custom Column Extraction, you skip the scroll-and-copy work: name the fields and the AI reads each reply as a structured row.
The display name from the reply bubble header, read straight from LINE's chat UI.
The product name plus variant from conversational language, like "Lサイズ" or "奶茶L."
The price per item or total, read together with its currency symbol (NT$, ¥, or ฿) exactly as shown in the bubble.
The number of units, like "2個," "3つ," or "×2," told apart from the item name by the number around it.
The code Taiwanese buyers reply with after paying, the last five digits of their transfer, so each deposit can be matched to the right order.
Type these as columns. The AI finds matching values in every reply and returns one row per participant.
LINE Group Buys Are Chat Threads, Not Order Forms
An organizer posts an order-collection (收單) message listing items and prices. Dozens of buyers answer in the same thread, often with a bare +1 plus a size or quantity, then pay by bank transfer and report the last five digits. LINE's own survey of Taiwan users found that more than 40% had taken part in a group buy inside a LINE chat, and that organizers regularly lose track of a stray +1 or get the money math wrong. There is no order form, no "buyer name" column, and no built-in way to get the thread into a list.
Every Reply Is a Separate Order, Mixed Together
A 50-participant group buy has 50 replies in one thread. Traditional OCR flattens them into a single text block, so it cannot match names with items. Every "L size" loses its buyer.
No Labels, No Structure, Just Conversation
No "Buyer Name:" label. No "Amount:" field. Orders are embedded in natural language, like "お願いしますチーズケーキホール2つ" or "奶茶L+1 $150." A label-seeking scanner finds nothing to match.
Cross-Talk and Replies to Replies
Participants reply to previous replies, not just the original post. Traditional OCR reads everything as a flat sequence, losing the conversational grouping entirely.
The AI Reads Every Reply as a Separate Data Row
Define Buyer Name, Item / Size, Amount, Quantity, and Transfer Last 5 Digits. The model reads each chat bubble individually: it takes the display name from the header, the item specification from the message body, and assigns one row per reply. Cross-talk is resolved by conversational context.
Ambiguous Replies Read Correctly
"2個" is read as Quantity, not part of an item name. "Lサイズで" identifies Size within the item field. "NT$350" is recognized as Amount with its currency. A number followed by a unit is treated as quantity, and a currency symbol followed by digits is treated as amount, wherever each one sits in the bubble.
Same Columns in Every LINE Market
The same columns work whether the thread is priced in NT$ in Taiwan, ¥ in Japan, or ฿ in Thailand, because LINE's chat layout is the same across markets. Run a Taiwan round and a Japan round? Same columns, same output.
From a LINE Group Buy Thread to a Sorted Order Log
If you run a LINE group buy, whether it is Taiwanese pastries, Japanese cosmetics, or Thai snacks, here is how one screenshot becomes every participant's order row.
Upload the Group Buy Thread Screenshot
Drop the screenshot of your LINE group buy conversation into the upload area, whether it is a compact scroll showing the organizer's 收單 post and 30 reply bubbles, or a longer capture that includes the full thread. PNG, JPG, or WebP. One file or a batch of five rounds from the same week.
Define Your Order Columns
Type the fields your order log needs: Buyer Name, Item / Size, Amount, Quantity, and Transfer Last 5 Digits. The AI reads every reply bubble, taking the display name from the bubble header, the item and quantity from the message text, and the amount from the embedded price. No per-reply configuration needed.
Download a Clean Order Log
Processing takes about 5-10 seconds per screenshot. You get one XLSX or CSV file with one row per participant: name, item, amount, quantity, and the transfer code they reported. Open it in Excel for fulfillment, or send it to Google Sheets with the add-on for real-time collaboration.
When LINE Group Buy Extraction Works Best, and When It Doesn't
When It Works Best
Full thread screenshots. The AI reads each reply individually. Threads with 30-50 visible replies produce the most accurate output.
Machine-rendered text. Currency symbols (NT$, ¥, ฿), prices, and product names in LINE's chat font reach up to 99% accuracy.
Cross-market batch processing. Taiwan, Japan, and Thailand group buy threads in the same batch, with the same columns across all markets.
When to Be Cautious
Nicknames vs real identities. The tool extracts the LINE display name as shown. Mapping nicknames to actual fulfillment names remains your responsibility.
Replies split across screenshots. Each screenshot is processed independently. For a complete order log, capture the full thread in a single scroll if possible.
Voice messages and media. The model extracts visible text only. Order details in voice messages or product images are not accessible from the screenshot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract Buyer Name, Item/Size, Amount, and Quantity from a LINE group buy where 50 people replied to one organizer post?
Yes. The AI reads the whole thread as one visual scene, and each reply bubble becomes a separate row. Name your columns Buyer Name, Item / Size, Amount, and Quantity, and the model pulls each person's order out of the scrolling chat, even a bare +1 with a size. The output is one row per participant with the values assigned.
What if a group buy participant uses a LINE nickname that does not match their real name?
The AI captures whatever display name appears above the chat bubble, so nicknames land in the Buyer Name column as-is. It does not map a nickname to a real identity, because nothing on the screen tells it which real person is behind the name. If your packing process needs legal names, the nickname is your reference and the mapping stays with you.
Can I pull the transfer last 5 digits (匯款末五碼) that buyers post to confirm payment?
Yes. Taiwanese group buys usually ask buyers to reply with the last five digits of their transfer so the organizer can match each deposit to the right order. Name a column like Transfer Last 5 Digits (匯款末五碼), and the AI pulls that code from the reply bubble or the transfer receipt screenshot alongside the buyer name and amount. Rows where nobody reported a code stay blank, which makes it easy to spot who has not paid yet.
The thread has amounts in more than one currency, like NT$ and ¥. Will the Amount column still be accurate?
Yes. The AI reads the number together with the symbol next to it, so NT$1,280 in a Taiwan thread and ¥3,000 in a Japan thread each keep their own marker. In a cross-border round where buyers quote different currencies, every row keeps the currency that was written in that bubble. Standardize the column afterward in your spreadsheet if you need a single currency.
Can I batch LINE group buy screenshots with KakaoTalk or WhatsApp orders in the same run?
Yes. Upload LINE group buy threads, KakaoTalk group purchases, and WhatsApp Business order screenshots into one batch. Define Buyer Name, Item, Amount, and Quantity once, and the AI finds those values in every screenshot the same way. Each screenshot becomes a row in one spreadsheet, whichever app it came from.
Can I download the extracted LINE group buy data as Excel or Google Sheets for fulfillment?
Yes. Download the result as XLSX, CSV, or JSON. The XLSX keeps your column headers (Buyer Name, Item / Size, Amount, Quantity, Transfer Last 5 Digits) with one row per participant. Google Sheets users can push the same rows into the active sheet with the add-on, which is handy when the packing team works from one shared list.
