Why Validate Your Etsy Export?

Common Export Issues

Etsy exports can have issues that cause accounting import failures: - Excel corrupting Order IDs (converting to scientific notation) - Date format changes when opened in spreadsheet software - Missing required fields from incomplete orders - Currency symbol formatting inconsistencies

What This Validator Checks

We verify your Etsy CSV against the official schema: - Required columns present (Sale Date, Order ID, Item Name, etc.) - Date formats parseable - Currency values numeric - Quantity values are positive integers - Order IDs not corrupted

Common Target Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them

Missing Sale Date

The 'Sale Date' column is required but not found

File exported without date column
Jan 15, 2026

Ensure you download CSV Order Items from Settings > Options > Download Data

Go to Shop Manager, Settings, Options, Download Data section

Invalid Date Format

Date columns contain unparseable values or wrong format

1/15/26 (ambiguous format)
Jan 15, 2026 (Etsy standard format)

Don't modify dates in Excel before validating

Re-export from Etsy without opening in Excel first

Missing Order ID

The 'Order ID' column is required but contains empty values

(blank cell in Order ID)
3001234567

Each item must reference an order ID

This may indicate file corruption - re-export from Etsy

Missing Item Name

Required 'Item Name' column has empty values

(blank item name)
Handmade Ceramic Mug - Blue Glaze

Each row should have a product name from your listing

Check if this is a data issue or manual deletion

Invalid Quantity Value

The 'Quantity' column contains non-integer or negative values

0 or -1 or 2.5
2

Quantity must be a positive integer

Check for Excel formula errors or manual edits

Missing Price

The 'Price' column is required but contains empty values

(blank price)
45.00

Every item needs a unit price

Re-export or check for file corruption

Invalid Currency Value

Currency columns contain non-numeric values or wrong format

$45.00 or #REF!
45.00

Currency values must be numeric only (no $ symbols)

Re-export or remove currency symbols using search/replace

Fee Values Should Be Positive

Fee columns in Etsy Order Items should be positive amounts

-3.44 (negative fee)
3.44 (positive fee)

Etsy Order Items export uses positive fee values (unlike some platforms)

If fees are negative, the file may be from a different export type

Wrong Export Type

File appears to be Monthly Statement instead of CSV Order Items

Monthly Statement columns (Type, Title, Info)
Order Items columns (Sale Date, Item Name, Buyer)

Download CSV Order Items, not Monthly Statement

Go to Settings > Options > Download Data > CSV Order Items

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
