Merge Reverb and Bonanza Sales Data for Sales Tax Reporting

Sales tax reporting needs order totals broken out consistently by date and location, which rarely matches between two platforms' raw exports.

Why Reverb and Bonanza exports don't line up

Reverb: an order date column specific to the marketplace's order dashboard; item price, shipping, and Reverb's selling fee as separate columns, often with international currency conversion involved; an order number distinct per listing sold. Also, used mostly for musical instruments/gear, so price ranges and shipping costs vary far more per row than typical retail exports.
Bonanza: a sale date shown in the seller's account timezone; item price and a Bonanza final value fee that varies by advertising tier chosen per listing; an order ID unique to the marketplace. Also, fee amounts differ per listing based on optional ad placement, so two otherwise-identical sales can show different fee columns.

For sales tax reporting, that mismatch is exactly what causes hours of manual cleanup every period.

Open CSV Experts and set your target columns once (Date, Channel, Order ID, Total).
Drop in your Reverb export and map its columns once.
Drop in your Bonanza 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.

Yes. Add as many source files as you want; each distinct file layout is mapped once and remembered.
