Merge WooCommerce and Facebook Marketplace Sales Data for Side Hustle Bookkeeping
Running sales channels as a side hustle usually means doing your own books, which gets tedious fast once more than one platform is involved.
Why WooCommerce and Facebook Marketplace exports don't line up
- WooCommerce: an Order Date in whatever format your WordPress site's locale is set to; an Order Total that depends entirely on which tax/shipping plugins are installed; a plain numeric Order Number. Also, column layout depends on which export plugin generated the CSV, so two WooCommerce stores can produce different headers entirely.
- 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 side hustle 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 WooCommerce 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.
