This tool parses order export tax columns and channel/source fields, then generates a row-level reconciliation worksheet. It does not replace accounting advice, but it reduces manual spreadsheet cleanup before comparing order exports with Shopify finance reports.
Import blockers
Common causes this scan checks
- Native order exports can combine tax that the seller owes with tax handled through marketplace or Shop-channel flows.
- Accountants need order-level rows rather than one blended tax total.
- Channel/source fields need to be reviewed alongside tax amounts.
- Manual spreadsheet splitting is error-prone during monthly or quarterly reconciliation.
Workflow
How to use the cleaned CSV
- Upload an order export CSV that includes tax and channel/source fields.
- Review rows flagged as seller-collected or likely platform-remitted.
- Export the reconciliation worksheet and compare totals against Shopify finance reports.
- Keep ambiguous rows marked for manual accounting review.

- Detects common order tax columns.
- Uses channel/source signals to separate likely platform-remitted rows.
- Exports row-level seller tax, platform tax, and review-note columns.
- Adds totals for a quick accounting cross-check without storing order data.

FAQ
Shopify CSV questions
Is this tax advice?
No. It is a CSV reconciliation helper. Merchants should verify results with Shopify finance reports and their accountant.
What if my export has no channel field?
The worksheet will still total tax, but platform-remitted classification needs manual review.
Does this work for every jurisdiction?
No. It organizes the export for review; tax responsibility still depends on the merchant's actual reporting obligations.
