Merge Etsy and Mercari Sales Data for Handoff to Your Accountant
Handing raw multi-platform exports to an accountant usually means paying them to do the cleanup you could do yourself in a few minutes.
Why Etsy and Mercari 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.
- Mercari: a sold date in the seller's local time; item price and Mercari's selling fee shown separately, with shipping often bundled into the price; an order ID tied to a single sold item. Also, like other reseller apps, the export is minimal with no tax breakdown and mixes cancelled orders into the same file.
For handoff to your accountant, 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 Mercari 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.
