Scanned Invoice to Imported Purchase order with OCR

ndixon — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 08:56:03 GMT

I was just searching software that would covert a scanned image of an invoice and turn it into a .csv file to import it as a purchase order into Square. There were a lot of different options for OCR software paid and free. I was wondering if anybody has an experience using these with Square and which one would work the best.

Thanks,

Nick

@ndixon ;

I have done this with Excel as shown in this 1 min video. https://youtu.be/_5nGeEwx9ZI

The only thing the video does not show is after seeing the Table in Excel you need to save that sheet as a CSV file not as a Workbook.

I did this for converting some PDFs to csv to import to QuickBooks so importing the csv to Square should be the same.

Since I have excel there were no more fees for this.

Here is how you can do this with Google Sheets to csv: https://spreadsheetpoint.com/pdf-to-google-sheets/

This is free using Google Sheets.
