Merge Shopify and Bonanza Sales Data for Bookkeeping
Bookkeepers reconciling multi-channel sales need one consistent set of columns per month, not a different layout per platform.
Why Shopify and Bonanza exports don't line up
- Shopify: a Created At timestamp that includes a timezone offset; a single Total column that already nets out discounts, with tax broken out separately; an order Name like #1001 rather than a numeric ID. Also, exports one row per line item by default, so an order with 3 products becomes 3 rows unless you export the summary report instead.
- 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 bookkeeping, 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 Shopify 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.
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.
