When it comes to your bookkeeping, it's time to go from confused to capable.
Are you a SquareSpace seller without a bookkeeping system to support you? Or maybe you have some complicated bookkeeping software set up that you never, ever use because the learning curve is through the roof?
Do you have financial paperwork and receipts stuffed into a shoebox, like a ticking time-bomb waiting to explode in your face once your taxes are due?
Or maybe you just set up your SquareSpace shop, and you’re trying to figure out how to get this whole bookkeeping thing set up correctly from the beginning. You take a look at SquareSpace's reports, and get overwhelmed trying to interpret the data there.
That’s why we created the SquareSpace Seller Spreadsheet, a tool that does the heavy-lifting for you, so you have the data you need to make smart decisions for your business and more time to do what you love (create!).
How the SquareSpace seller spreadsheet works
My Seller Spreadsheets automate and simplify your monthly bookkeeping process. The SquareSpace Seller Spreadsheet imports in your SquareSpace sales & fees directly from your CSV files with a simple copy & paste.
The spreadsheet also helps you categorize your business expenses, enter sales from other sources, automates important sales tax info, and sums up your monthly net profit.
What will the SquareSpace Seller Spreadsheet help me do?
- Quickly import SquareSpace data - Save time by quickly importing your SS sales each month, along with shipping received, sales tax collected, and refunds issued. The spreadsheet compiles the totals you need from an easy import, making less work for you.
- Walk you through entering your SquareSpace, Stripe & PayPal fees - I'll show you exactly where to find all the fees you need to record, and show you how to interpret Stripe & PayPal reports so you know exactly what you're looking at.
- See all your sales in one place - You can also manually input your sales from all your other sources, like Paypal, eBay, local markets & shows, etc.
- Input expense receipts - Expenses categories each have their own tab. As you make purchases or pay bills throughout the month, you can enter your expenses on a receipt-by-receipt basis in the appropriate category. This means you have a great backup of your expense totals at year-end to backup your tax numbers or give to your accountant.
- Make tax time so much easier - The expense categories roughly correlate to the expense categories on your business' tax return, making the process of doing your taxes a lot more streamlined and simplified for you or your accountant.
- Calculate net profit or loss each month - Know instantly whether your biz is making a profit or a loss throughout the year, enabling you to make smarter budgeting and goal-setting decisions.
- Deal with sales taxes - Compile all your sales tax collected and in-state sales in one place.
The SquareSpace Seller Spreadsheet works with any type of SquareSpace account - personal, business site, online commerce, etc.

Why A Paper + Spark Spreadsheet?
Traditional bookkeeping software is made with accountants in mind. It’s expensive (and generally requires a monthly subscription payment), bulky, and oftentimes more complicated than a micro business like yours needs. It’s made for any and all types of small businesses, and not specific to YOUR business needs as a handmade biz owner or e-commerce seller. When your bookkeeping software is too complicated, too vague, and support or in-plain-English instruction is lacking, you tend to procrastinate on using it. Not updating your books consistently means severe stress once year end or tax deadlines hit.
Spreadsheets are powerful but simple tools. Partner a well-crafted spreadsheet file designed by an accountant intimately acquainted with e-commerce with clear, understandable instructions and you’ve got a formula for bookkeeping success. You get everything you need to feel empowered by your numbers, and nothing you don’t need.
Paper + Spark has been selling spreadsheets since 2015. We currently support thousands of makers and creative entrepreneurs in doing their books and understanding their money. Our spreadsheets have received countless rave reviews from shop owners. No other bookkeeping solution out there offers our level of step-by-step guidance & support. We also stay up-to-date on e-commerce reporting and platform changes.
With a Paper + Spark spreadsheet, you’ll pay a one-time fee for lifetime access to your files and support. We provide any future year files and updates for free, forever, via the account you create at checkout. You can always reach out in the Accounting Accountability Club, or via DM or email, and get answers to your spreadsheet & bookkeeping questions.
