Merge Amazon Seller Central and TikTok Shop Sales Data for Sales Tax Reporting
Sales tax reporting needs order totals broken out consistently by date and location, which rarely matches between two platforms' raw exports.
Why Amazon Seller Central and TikTok Shop exports don't line up
- Amazon Seller Central: a purchase date/time column stamped in UTC, not your local time; item price, promotion discounts, and Amazon referral fees split across several columns; an Amazon Order ID in a long dashed format (e.g. 123-4567890-1234567). Also, reports differ noticeably between the 'All Orders' report and the Payments/Settlement report — totals rarely match at a glance.
- 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. Also, refunded and partially-refunded orders stay in the export with a status column instead of being removed, so totals can overstate revenue if you don't filter by status.
For sales tax reporting, 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 Amazon Seller Central export and map its columns once.
- Drop in your TikTok Shop 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.
