Merge TikTok Shop and Mercari 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 TikTok Shop and Mercari exports don't line up
- 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.
- Mercari: a sold date in the seller's local time; item price and Mercari's selling fee shown separately, with shipping often bundled into the price; an order ID tied to a single sold item. Also, like other reseller apps, the export is minimal with no tax breakdown and mixes cancelled orders into the same file.
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 TikTok Shop export and map its columns once.
- Drop in your Mercari 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.
