FB Live Comment Printer

The Problem

During Facebook Live sales events, sellers receive dozens or hundreds of purchase orders through live comments. Traditional processing involves manually reading each comment, copying customer details, and typing shipping labels one by one. This creates bottlenecks leading to delayed shipments, data entry errors, missed orders, and staff fatigue.

• Manual reading of each comment to identify orders
• Copying customer names and order details by hand
• Typing shipping labels one by one
• Risk of typos in names, prices, or quantities
• Comments getting lost in fast-moving chat

The Solution

FB Live Comment Printer transforms this workflow by monitoring Facebook Live video comments, detecting orders matching preset formats, extracting customer details, and automatically printing shipping labels to connected thermal printers. Orders that once took minutes now take seconds with zero manual intervention.

Key Features

Built with Python and modern async patterns for reliable, non-blocking performance during long live sessions.

• Real-Time Comment Streaming - Configurable polling intervals (1–120 seconds) with automatic deduplication
• Intelligent Order Detection - Pattern matching rules to identify valid purchase orders
• Flexible Label Printing - Auto-detect printers, toggle printing on/off, force print any comment
• Comprehensive Dashboard - Color-coded status tracking (sent, failed, paused, skipped)
• Real-Time Statistics - Track fetched comments and printed labels

Order Detection

The application supports multiple label presets to match different comment formats. Price + Quantity preset recognizes orders like "HS Apple Juice 12.50+2" and extracts item name, price, and quantity. All Comments preset prints every non-empty comment for businesses capturing all engagement.

• Price + Quantity preset: HS [item] [price]+[quantity]
• All Comments preset: Print every comment with username
• Custom rules via configurable pattern matching
