Merge Amazon Seller Central and BigCommerce Sales Data for Tax Prep
At tax time you need total revenue by channel without hand-fixing each export's columns first.
Why Amazon Seller Central and BigCommerce exports don't line up
- Amazon Seller Central: a purchase date/time column stamped in UTC, not your local time; item price, promotion discounts, and Amazon referral fees split across several columns; an Amazon Order ID in a long dashed format (e.g. 123-4567890-1234567). Also, reports differ noticeably between the 'All Orders' report and the Payments/Settlement report — totals rarely match at a glance.
- BigCommerce: an Order Date column that includes a full timestamp; Subtotal and Grand Total both included, which are easy to mix up when mapping; a numeric Order ID. Also, many optional columns are exported blank depending on store configuration, which can throw off auto-mapping by header position.
For tax prep, that mismatch is exactly what causes hours of manual cleanup every period.
How to merge them in under a minute
- Open CSV Experts and set your target columns once (Date, Channel, Order ID, Total).
- Drop in your Amazon Seller Central export and map its columns once.
- Drop in your BigCommerce export and map it the same way — both merge into one sheet, normalized.
- Export as CSV or Excel. Same-layout files merge automatically next time.
FAQ
Does this upload my sales data anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript — your files are never sent to a server.
Does it work for more than two channels?
Yes. Add as many source files as you want; each distinct file layout is mapped once and remembered.
