Purchase orders by email. Draft orders in Shopify.

POcatch reads the orders your wholesale buyers email, as PDFs, spreadsheets or even photos. It matches every line to your products and the right customer, checks the prices, and prepares the draft order for your team to check.

  • Made for Shopify Plus wholesale
  • Nothing is created without your team
  • Customer details encrypted; emails deleted after 90 days

Every line, matched and checked.

One page shows the order beside the original email. Fix a line or choose the customer, then create the draft order in Shopify.

An example of POcatch’s review page for purchase order PO-4667 from Copper Kettle, South Lamar. Each of the buyer’s four lines is matched to a product: “HB-5 house blend whole” to House Blend, 5 lb, whole bean, and so on. Three lines are marked Matched; the vanilla syrup is marked Price differs, so one line needs a look. The total is $431.00. The original email is shown beside the lines, with a button to create the draft order.

From inbox to draft order.

Nothing changes for your buyers. They email purchase orders the way they always have.

  1. Your buyer emails a purchase order, as always. You forward it to your POcatch address, or your inbox does it for you.

  2. POcatch reads it, matches every line to your products and the right customer, and highlights what needs a look.

  3. You create the draft order with one click. It waits in Shopify, with the customer’s prices, for your team.

It reads every order the way you would.

Before anything goes into Shopify, POcatch marks what needs a look, in plain words. These are its own notes.

Does POcatch change my store?

It reads your products, customers and catalogs, and creates a draft order only when your team clicks Create. It never edits products, prices or customers, and never completes an order.

What if a purchase order is unclear?

POcatch marks what it isn’t sure of, in plain words: a price that differs, an item that isn’t in the customer’s catalog, numbers that don’t add up. You fix the line or choose the customer before you create the draft order.

Which files can it read?

PDFs, photos (even a phone picture of a printed form), spreadsheets such as Excel and CSV, the email’s own text, and forwarded emails. You can also upload an order or paste its text.

What happens to my customers’ data?

Their details are encrypted. Emails and what’s read from them are deleted after 90 days, and everything POcatch keeps about your store is deleted when you uninstall it. The privacy policy has the details.

How do I try it?

Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial that includes 25 purchase orders. Once POcatch is added, send yourself a sample order from the app to see the whole path. Samples don’t count against your plan.

Add POcatch, then send yourself a sample purchase order from the app. It’s usually ready to check in under a minute.
