The Best Way to Merge WooCommerce and Reverb Data for Multi-Store Reporting

If you're doing multi-store reporting by hand right now, here's the fastest path from "two exports" to "one usable sheet," and why the manual version keeps breaking.

Step by step

  1. Decide your target columns once. Most people settle on Date, Channel, Order ID, and Total — set that up in CSV Experts and you won't redo it.
  2. Import the WooCommerce file first. The first time you see this file shape, you map each of its columns to your target list.
  3. Import the Reverb file the same way. Its columns get mapped once too — after that, every future file with this shape merges with no extra clicks.
  4. Check the merged totals. Dates and numbers are normalized automatically, so a European "24,00" and a US "24.00" both land as the same value.
  5. Export. CSV or Excel, ready for multi-store reporting.

What actually goes wrong if you do this by hand

WooCommerce gives you an Order Date in whatever format your WordPress site's locale is set to, while Reverb gives you an order date column specific to the marketplace's order dashboard — line those up manually across a few hundred rows and it's easy to miscount a week. On top of that, WooCommerce's export column layout depends on which export plugin generated the CSV, so two WooCommerce stores can produce different headers entirely, and Reverb's used mostly for musical instruments/gear, so price ranges and shipping costs vary far more per row than typical retail exports. Individually those are minor quirks; combined into one spreadsheet by hand, they're where most reconciliation errors for multi-store reporting actually come from.

Why it matters for multi-store reporting

Reporting on multiple storefronts only works cleanly once every store's export uses the same column layout.
