Extract Order Number (订单号), Actual Payment (实付金额), and Tracking Status from a Taobao or Tmall Order Screenshot
Manually reading a Taobao order screenshot takes 2-3 minutes — finding the actual payment through four discount layers and tracking numbers across multiple packages — this pulls all four fields in about 5 seconds.

Four Fields from a Chinese E-Commerce Screenshot
Define columns in English or Chinese — Custom Column Extraction finds matching values by label, not position.
A 15-digit pure numeric string at the top of every order detail page — labeled 订单编号 on Tmall, 订单号 on Taobao. The master reference for refunds and logistics inquiries.
Listed below the header with item thumbnail and SKU. Mobile screenshots truncate long titles — the AI extracts whatever is visible for categorization.
The bolded bottom-line number after up to four deductions — Cross-Store Discount (满减), Category Coupon (品类券), Red Packet (红包), and Platform Voucher. The only figure that matches your payment record.
Shown as 包裹1, 包裹2 when items ship from different warehouses — each package has its own tracking number (运单号). Capture the 物流详情 page for the full list.
Why Taobao and Tmall Order Screenshots Trip Up Most Extraction Tools
Chinese field labels, a multi-layer discount stack, and split-package logistics create three problems that position-based OCR tools cannot solve — but semantic label reading handles each one without template configuration.
Where Traditional Approaches Fail
Chinese labels, no English fallback. Every field label is in Chinese. Non-Chinese-reading users cannot match "Order Number" to 订单号 — an experience Reddit users consistently describe as confusing. Traditional OCR dumps all text in reading order without labeling anything.
The discount stack buries the real number. The order detail shows Original Price (原价), Cross-Store Discount (满减), Category Coupon (品类券), Red Packet (红包), and Actual Payment (实付金额). Line-by-line OCR returns all five numbers — the user has to guess which is the final charge.
One order, multiple packages, one screenshot. When items ship from different warehouses, the page shows 包裹1, 包裹2 — each with its own tracking number (运单号). A single screenshot often displays only the first package's number. Users who need the actual tracking number must drill into each package's logistics detail separately.
How Semantic Extraction Handles Chinese Labels by Meaning
Labels work in any language. Define "Order Number" or "订单号" as a column. The AI finds the 15-digit string next to the matching label — Chinese or English — regardless of position on the page.
Understands the discount hierarchy. Type "Actual Payment (实付金额)". The AI returns the final bolded number after all deductions, not the Original Price or Red Packet. You define the column — the AI finds the right figure in the sequence.
Package-level tracking by section. Define "Tracking Number (运单号)". The AI reads each 包裹 section on the logistics detail page independently. Each package screenshot yields one row, linked by the shared Order Number.
From a Taobao or Tmall Screenshot to One Structured Row in Three Steps
Upload the Screenshot
Taken a screenshot of your Taobao or Tmall order detail page — mobile app or desktop browser, Chinese UI? Upload it directly as JPG, PNG, or WebP. No cropping, no pre-processing. If the order has multiple packages (包裹1, 包裹2), capture the logistics detail (物流详情) page for each one alongside the main order summary.
Name the Columns You Need
Type Order Number (订单号), Product Title (商品名称), Actual Payment (实付金额), Tracking Number (运单号) — in English, Chinese, or both. The AI reads the label next to each value on the screenshot, so it finds 订单号 by its semantic relationship to the numeric string beside it, not by a memorized position. Columns defined once apply to every screenshot in the batch.
One Row per Screenshot, Ready to Reconcile
Processing takes 5-10 seconds per image. The output is one row per screenshot — the Order Number, Product Title, Actual Payment, and Tracking Number in separate columns. Upload ten Taobao/Tmall order screenshots from a shopping batch and get a single spreadsheet with ten rows, ready for expense reconciliation or customs documentation (~3 min of manual entry per order vs ~5-10s here).
Where Taobao and Tmall Screenshot Extraction Works Best — and Where to Watch Out
Honest boundaries for consistent results across different screenshot quality levels.
When It Works Best
Full-resolution screenshots with visible labels. High-contrast Chinese text — up to 99% accuracy for order numbers and payment amounts when labels (订单号, 实付金额) are in frame.
Logistics detail page captured separately. When both the order summary and the 物流详情 page are included, the AI assigns each tracking number to its correct package row.
Cross-platform batch processing. Same columns work with Amazon and AliExpress screenshots — useful for cross-platform buyers.
When to Be Cautious
Tracking numbers behind interactive links. The tool extracts visible text only — it does not follow "查看物流" buttons. Capture the logistics detail page separately for the full tracking number.
Compressed or low-resolution screenshots. WeChat and WhatsApp compression blurs small Chinese characters. Use original screenshot files for best results.
Partial screenshots missing the discount section. If the capture omits the price breakdown at the bottom, the AI cannot extract the Actual Payment (实付金额). Include the full visible page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Original Price (原价), Cross-Store Discount (满减), Category Coupon (品类券), Red Packet (红包), and Actual Payment (实付金额) on a Taobao/Tmall screenshot?
The order detail page shows these five price tiers in sequence. Original Price (原价) is the pre-discount listed price. Cross-Store Discount (满减) applies when your cart meets a spending threshold. Category Coupon (品类券) is a platform coupon for specific categories. Red Packet (红包) is a platform-issued cash voucher. Actual Payment (实付金额) is the final figure after all four deductions — the only one that matches your payment record.
If my order has multiple packages (包裹1, 包裹2), how do I extract all tracking numbers (运单号)?
A single order splits into multiple packages when items ship from different warehouses — each with its own Tracking Number (运单号). The order summary page shows a consolidated status. To extract all tracking numbers, capture the Logistics Detail (物流详情) page for each package. Each package screenshot becomes one row in the output spreadsheet, linked by the shared Order Number column — you can group them after export by filtering on Order Number.
Can I use English column names like "Order Number" and "Actual Payment" on a Chinese-interface screenshot?
Yes. The AI reads the label next to each value by semantic meaning, not by character-by-character text matching. Defining "Order Number" as a column instructs the AI to locate the 15-digit string associated with the label 订单号 or 订单编号 — even though the label on the screenshot is in Chinese. You can also define columns in Chinese ("订单号", "实付金额") if that is more intuitive. Both work interchangeably in the same batch.
What's the difference between an Order Number (订单号) and a Tracking Number (运单号)?
An Order Number (订单号) is a 15-digit pure numeric string assigned at checkout — it identifies the entire purchase, never changes, and is used for refund requests and customer service inquiries. A Tracking Number (运单号) is issued by the shipping carrier when a package ships — its format varies (carrier-specific codes from 申通, 圆通, 中通, 顺丰, or China Post). A single order has one Order Number but can have multiple Tracking Numbers if items ship in separate packages.
Can I process Taobao/Tmall screenshots alongside Amazon and AliExpress screenshots in the same batch?
Yes — define one set of columns (Order Number, Product Title, Amount, Tracking Number) and upload a mix of screenshots. The AI reads per-screenshot labels independently, finding 订单号 on Taobao, "Order ID" on Amazon, and the AliExpress order header, then maps each to your Order Number column. The output is a single spreadsheet with consistent columns across all platforms.
