Merge Shopify and Bonanza Sales Data for Cost of Goods Sold Tracking
Calculating cost of goods sold across channels requires item-level data lined up the same way regardless of where it sold.
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 cost of goods sold tracking, 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.
