Merge Shopify and eBay Sales Data for QuickBooks Import
QuickBooks expects a consistent column layout for imported transactions — mismatched headers between channels usually mean manual cleanup before import.
Why Shopify and eBay exports don't line up
- Shopify: a Created At timestamp that includes a timezone offset; a single Total column that already nets out discounts, with tax broken out separately; an order Name like #1001 rather than a numeric ID. Also, exports one row per line item by default, so an order with 3 products becomes 3 rows unless you export the summary report instead.
- eBay: Sale Date shown in the seller's local time; item subtotal, shipping, and final value fee as separate columns; an Order Number that can bundle multiple items bought together into one row. Also, the seller hub export format changed more than once, so column names can differ depending on when the report was generated.
For quickbooks import, 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 Shopify export and map its columns once.
- Drop in your eBay 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.
