Merge WooCommerce and BigCommerce Sales Data for Tax Prep in the United Kingdom

At tax time you need total revenue by channel without hand-fixing each export's columns first. In the United Kingdom, that also means accounting for VAT: VAT is charged at a flat 20% standard rate once you're registered, and HMRC expects consistent digital records under Making Tax Digital.

Why WooCommerce and BigCommerce 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.
BigCommerce: an Order Date column that includes a full timestamp; Subtotal and Grand Total both included, which are easy to mix up when mapping; a numeric Order ID.

Neither export is built with VAT in mind, so getting from "two raw files" to "the United Kingdom-ready numbers" means normalizing dates/totals first, then applying your own 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 GBP).
Map the WooCommerce export, then the BigCommerce export — each file shape is remembered after the first time.
Export the merged sheet and apply your 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.
