How do you turn an Instagram DM into a shipping label?
There is no order ID to look up, and the details arrive out of order: a nickname in one message, a street in the next, the apartment number three replies later once you think to ask. The payment usually lands somewhere else entirely — a payment app, a screenshot pasted back into the thread. Tools built around a marketplace export assume all of that already sits in one row of a file, so every missing piece becomes your problem at the keyboard. GoatLabels starts from the mess instead: Billy, the built-in AI assistant, reads the thread as it was actually written, validates the address it finds, and marks the gaps on the draft — so the only thing you type is the answer to a question you were going to ask the buyer anyway.
Can DM sales and store orders share one queue?
Most Instagram sellers are not only on Instagram. 13 store connectors, including Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce and TikTok Shop, sync into the same To Ship queue, and tracking pushes back to the store when you print. DM orders sit in that queue beside the synced ones, so a Friday batch is one list and one print run instead of four tabs. There is no Instagram connector to set up — the AI path does not depend on one.
One DM sale, end to end
A thread on your phone, a label in your printer.
Instagram gives you a conversation and nothing else — no order ID, no export, no connector. So this is the whole route from that: paste the thread or screenshot it, Billy pulls the buyer and validates the address it finds, USPS, UPS and FedEx price the parcel you packed (DHL too if it is going abroad), and the label debits a prepaid wallet you funded once. Nothing in it needs a laptop.

The DM is
the order form
Paste an Instagram or Facebook thread, or a screenshot of one, and Billy turns the prose into a checked address and a drafted parcel. No API connector exists for this and none is needed. The regular who orders every month should not be retyped every month either — Billy keeps past orders and your saved box sizes across chats, and only ever sees your data, never anyone else's.

Built for sellers who ship between DMs
Your shipping desk sits next to your Instagram inbox.
Instagram selling happens on a phone — the DM, the payment confirmation, the packing. A label tool that only works properly on desktop drops a laptop into the middle of that. Everything below happens on the device the sale did.
Screenshot the thread that has the buyer's address in it — Billy pulls the name, address, and item.
All-in prices side by side, so you can quote the buyer in your next reply.
One-tap print to your share sheet or a thermal printer over Wi-Fi.
An in-app alert when new orders sync from any of the 13 connected stores, so DM sales and shop sales queue in one place.
Wallet balance, tracking, and voids on the go — no laptop leg of the trip.
Billy, the AI shipping assistant
Ask where it is without leaving the thread.
Half of Instagram orders arrive as prose, and the follow-up arrives the same way: a buyer messaging on Tuesday about something you shipped last week. Instead of three tabs and a tracking number you have to find first, ask out loud — Billy pulls the tracking history and reads it back. The same assistant that drafted the label answers for it afterwards. This is the real product, not a render.

From a chat bubble to a label in the print queue.
Nothing is installed, no CSV is exported, and there is no Instagram API connector waiting on an approval that never comes. Because the sale happened in a conversation rather than on a marketplace, no platform shipping policy limits which carrier you are allowed to buy from either: USPS, UPS and FedEx all come back on a domestic parcel (DHL on international ones) and you take whichever one you want. The label debits the prepaid wallet you funded once and goes straight to your phone's print share sheet or a thermal printer over Wi-Fi. There is no laptop leg of the trip, which matters because the sale, the payment confirmation, and the packing all already happened on the phone in your hand.

Pricing for a shop that lives in an inbox
Pay per DM order. No subscription to print.
Selling out of an inbox means some weeks are three orders and some are thirty. Free covers 50 shipments a month, with Billy in the web app, the API and every connected shop included, and a quiet week bills you nothing. Past 50 shipments a month, Pro is one flat $40 a month with no minimum term.

Instagram shipping label FAQ
- Does GoatLabels connect to Instagram?
- There is no Instagram API connector, and you do not need one. Paste the DM text or a screenshot of it and Billy drafts the label from what is in the message. 13 store connectors, including Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce and TikTok Shop, sync automatically if you sell there too.
- Which carriers can I print for an Instagram DM order?
- USPS, UPS and FedEx quoted side by side with live all-in rates on domestic parcels, and DHL on international ones. Because the order came from a DM rather than a marketplace, no platform shipping policy restricts which carrier you buy from.
- Do I need a monthly plan to ship a handful of DM orders?
- No monthly fee on Free, which covers 50 shipments a month: you pay per label from your wallet balance. Past 50 a month, Pro is a flat $40 a month with unlimited shipments, cheaper label pricing, and Billy on Telegram.
- How do I pay when a sale lands at 11pm?
- Top up your GoatLabels wallet with card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH bank transfer, or crypto (supported assets are shown at the funding step). Every label after that is a one-tap debit from the balance.
- Can I do the whole thing from my phone?
- Yes. GoatLabels is mobile-first: screenshot the DM, review Billy's draft, and send the label to your phone's print share sheet or a thermal printer over Wi-Fi without opening a laptop.
- What if I buy the wrong label at midnight?
- Void it. After the carrier accepts the void, the credit posts back to your prepaid wallet as its own ledger entry, so it is spendable on the next label instead of sitting in a card refund queue.
