Getting the file
Whatnot generates the Weekly Orders Report from your seller account and emails or exposes it as a CSV. The exact menu path changes as the app changes, so the reliable route is Whatnot’s own help article rather than a screenshot that ages badly.
Whatnot’s Weekly Orders Report guideFeeSift reads .csv files up to 25 MB, comma-delimited, UTF-8, with or without a byte order mark. Quoted commas and line breaks inside a listing description are handled.
Why one order appears on several rows
Each row is a movement of money, not a purchase. A single order can produce an earnings row when it sells, a refund row days later, and a shipping charge row when a label was underpaid. Adding up a column without grouping by order will double-count.
A refunded order, row by row
- Order Earnings — the sale, a positive amount after fees.
- Order Refund — a negative amount when the buyer is refunded.
- Net effect: close to zero on your balance, but your cost of goods is still gone. A refunded order is usually a real loss.
The columns that actually matter
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Transaction Type | Whether the row is earnings, a refund, a tip or a shipping charge. One order can have several types. |
| Order ID | The key that ties multiple rows to one order. Some rows, such as referral credits, have none. |
| Transaction Amount | The actual effect on your balance for that row. Negative for refunds and shipping charges. |
| Post Coupon Price | The item price after a seller coupon. This is the amount commission is charged on. |
| Buyer Paid | Everything the buyer paid, including shipping and tax. This is the amount processing is charged on. |
| Cost of Goods | Your cost, if you entered it in Whatnot. Frequently blank, which is why profit can be partial. |
| Ledger Transaction ID | A unique id per ledger entry. It is what makes duplicate rows safe to detect and exclude. |
Whatnot can add or rename columns. FeeSift matches on normalized header names rather than column order, keeps unknown columns instead of discarding them, and tells you when the layout has changed.
Duplicated rows are real, and they matter
The same ledger entry can appear twice in an export. Counting both inflates your payout. FeeSift groups by currency and Order ID, then excludes any repeat of a Ledger Transaction ID it has already counted. Expanding an order shows every source row, including the ones excluded, so you can check the arithmetic rather than trust it.
When two identical rows carry no ledger id at all, FeeSift keeps both and flags them instead of silently dropping one — it cannot tell a duplicate from two genuine identical sales.
Your report contains buyer names
The export includes buyer names and locations, which is personal data. FeeSift reads the file inside a worker in your own browser. The report is not uploaded, and buyer names never leave that worker — they are not part of the analysis it hands back to the page, and the anonymized export removes buyer identity by default.
