Merge Etsy and Facebook Marketplace Sales Data for Tax Prep
At tax time you need total revenue by channel without hand-fixing each export's columns first.
Why Etsy and Facebook Marketplace 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.
- Facebook Marketplace: an order date recorded through Meta's commerce backend; item total and a Meta selling fee where checkout is enabled; an order ID formatted differently depending on whether Shop Pay or Meta Pay processed the transaction. Also, many sellers use Marketplace only for listings with no built-in checkout, so exports may only exist via a connected store's own platform.
For tax prep, 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 Facebook Marketplace 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.
