I opened my Etsy CSV Order Items export in Excel to check something, and it converted all my 10-digit Order IDs to scientific notation — 2.41E+09 instead of 2410583947. When I imported to QuickBooks, every single order had a corrupted reference number. Couldn't match anything to my bank deposits. The validator flags Order ID corruption immediately so you know not to trust a file that's been opened in Excel.

Validation Questions Answered
What export do I need?
CSV Order Items from Etsy Shop Manager → Settings → Options → Download Data.
Why are my Order IDs showing as errors?
Excel sometimes converts long numbers to scientific notation (1.2E+10). Don't open in Excel before validating. Use text import if needed.
Orders vs Order Items CSV: what's different?
Orders CSV = one row per order. Order Items CSV = one row per item. Use Order Items for item-level checks.

How People Use This
A client re-exported their Etsy CSV from Google Sheets and the encoding changed from UTF-8 to ASCII. Every product name with an accent, em dash, or special character came through as garbled question marks — 'Bebe' turned into 'B??b??'. Their accounting records were unreadable. The validator catches encoding issues and garbled characters before they spread through your books.
My Etsy export had 14 rows with blank Quantity fields — items from canceled-then-reinstated orders where Etsy left the field empty. My accounting software defaulted blank quantities to zero, so those sales showed $0 revenue. Missed $1,800 in income for the month. The validator catches every empty required field with the exact row and column.
I exported order items from two date ranges and concatenated them in Excel. Didn't realize the ranges overlapped by a week — 67 duplicate orders inflated my revenue by $2,400. My accountant caught it during tax filing, but only after we'd already submitted quarterly estimates. The validator would have flagged those duplicate Order IDs before I ever combined the files.
Why Validate Your Etsy Export?

Frequently Asked Questions
Your data never leaves your device. All files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript - no data is stored on our servers or sent anywhere. There's no account to hack, no database storing your files, and no API connections to your bank or accounting software. You upload, convert, download, and we forget it immediately.
No payment or signup required. You can upload your file, see a free preview of the conversion results, and verify everything looks correct before paying anything. If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.
You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.
CSV Order Items from Etsy Shop Manager → Settings → Options → Download Data.
Excel sometimes converts long numbers to scientific notation (1.2E+10). Don't open in Excel before validating. Use text import if needed.
Etsy exports dates like 'Jan 15, 2026'. If you see '1/15/26', Excel changed the format when you opened the file.
Orders CSV = one row per order. Order Items CSV = one row per item. Use Order Items for item-level checks.
Etsy CSV downloads can lag and filters can exclude dates. Confirm Month/Year and try exporting again later.
Import the file and set delimiter to comma (UTF‑8). Opening by double-click can put everything in one column.
The header row must match Etsy’s export. Don’t rename/delete columns—re-download from Etsy and upload unedited.
Import as UTF‑8 to preserve accents/symbols. If you edited the file, re-download the original Etsy export.
Edits can break CSV quoting for commas/newlines inside fields. Upload the original Etsy export or re-download it.
Yes, but re-exporting can change headers, encoding, or delimiters. For best results, upload the original Etsy CSV.
