Merge Etsy and Amazon Seller Central Sales Data for Quarterly Tax Estimates
Quarterly estimated tax payments depend on knowing real revenue across every channel, not just the platform that's easiest to check.
Why Etsy and Amazon Seller Central exports don't line up
- Etsy: Sale Date, usually already in your local timezone; Item Total, Shipping, and Etsy fees as separate columns, before tax; a numeric Order ID shared by every item in the same order. Also, listing titles are included in full and often contain commas, which can shift columns if opened carelessly in Excel.
- 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.
For quarterly tax estimates, 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 Etsy export and map its columns once.
- Drop in your Amazon Seller Central 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.
