Merge Squarespace and TikTok Shop Sales Data for Sales Tax Reporting in Germany
Sales tax reporting needs order totals broken out consistently by date and location, which rarely matches between two platforms' raw exports. In Germany, that also means accounting for Mehrwertsteuer (VAT): VAT rates and EU distance-selling thresholds mean revenue often needs to be split by destination country, not just totalled.
Why Squarespace and TikTok Shop exports don't line up
- Squarespace: a Date column in ISO-like format; Subtotal, Discount, Shipping, and Total as separate columns; an Order ID that's a short alphanumeric code.
- TikTok Shop: an order creation time stamped in UTC; order amount, platform commission, and affiliate commission split into separate columns; a long numeric Order ID.
Neither export is built with Mehrwertsteuer (VAT) in mind, so getting from "two raw files" to "Germany-ready numbers" means normalizing dates/totals first, then applying your own Mehrwertsteuer (VAT) treatment on top of the merged total — not per platform separately.
How to merge them
- Set your target columns once in CSV Experts (Date, Channel, Order ID, Total, and a Currency column if you sell in more than EUR).
- Map the Squarespace export, then the TikTok Shop export — each file shape is remembered after the first time.
- Export the merged sheet and apply your Mehrwertsteuer (VAT) treatment to the combined total.
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.
