Shopify exports: order-centric
Shopify CSVs are designed around orders. You get product-level detail, discount codes used, shipping lines, and taxes broken out by jurisdiction.
Use Shopify exports when you need SKU performance, discount impact, or fulfillment status.
Stripe exports: payment-centric
Stripe CSVs are designed around payments. You get raw transaction amounts, fees, refunds, and bank payout timing.
Use Stripe exports when you need cash flow visibility, fee analysis, or reconciliation against bank deposits.
When to combine both
If Shopify is your checkout but Stripe is your processor, you need both data sets for a complete picture:
- Shopify for gross merchandise value and product trends
- Stripe for net revenue and fee attribution
- Cross-reference by order ID or date to catch discrepancies
- Build one dashboard with both sources for weekly reviews
