The Best Way to Merge eBay and Squarespace Data for Multi-Store Reporting
If you're doing multi-store reporting 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 eBay file first. The first time you see this file shape, you map each of its columns to your target list.
- Import the Squarespace 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 multi-store reporting.
What actually goes wrong if you do this by hand
eBay gives you Sale Date shown in the seller's local time, while Squarespace gives you a Date column in ISO-like format — line those up manually across a few hundred rows and it's easy to miscount a week. On top of that, eBay's export the seller hub export format changed more than once, so column names can differ depending on when the report was generated, and Squarespace's customer and shipping address fields are wide, so the money and date columns can end up far to the right of the sheet. Individually those are minor quirks; combined into one spreadsheet by hand, they're where most reconciliation errors for multi-store reporting actually come from.
Why it matters for multi-store reporting
Reporting on multiple storefronts only works cleanly once every store's export uses the same column layout.
