The Best Way to Merge Squarespace and Depop Data for Side Hustle Bookkeeping
If you're doing side hustle bookkeeping by hand right now, here's the fastest path from "two exports" to "one usable sheet," and why the manual version keeps breaking.
Step by step
- Decide your target columns once. Most people settle on Date, Channel, Order ID, and Total — set that up in CSV Experts and you won't redo it.
- Import the Squarespace file first. The first time you see this file shape, you map each of its columns to your target list.
- Import the Depop file the same way. Its columns get mapped once too — after that, every future file with this shape merges with no extra clicks.
- Check the merged totals. Dates and numbers are normalized automatically, so a European "24,00" and a US "24.00" both land as the same value.
- Export. CSV or Excel, ready for side hustle bookkeeping.
What actually goes wrong if you do this by hand
Squarespace gives you a Date column in ISO-like format, while Depop gives you a transaction date column — line those up manually across a few hundred rows and it's easy to miscount a week. On top of that, Squarespace's export customer and shipping address fields are wide, so the money and date columns can end up far to the right of the sheet, and Depop's like Poshmark, the export is minimal and mixes sold, refunded, and offer-related rows together. Individually those are minor quirks; combined into one spreadsheet by hand, they're where most reconciliation errors for side hustle bookkeeping actually come from.
Why it matters 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.
