Conversion notes

Amazon's own 'Order History Reports' export covers your account, but only your account — for clients, mixed inboxes, or forwarded receipts you parse the PDF/HTML receipt instead.

Third-party (marketplace) orders show the seller as merchant, which matters for VAT and 1099 categorization.

Keep subtotal, shipping and tax separate from total so deductible vs non-deductible portions stay visible.

FAQ

Does Amazon export receipts to CSV?

The Order History Report exports your own orders. For receipts forwarded by others or for clients, converting the receipt document is the way to structure them.

Itemized lines?

Item-level detail is available; many bookkeepers keep header-level (subtotal/tax/total) for speed and only itemize when needed.
