If you buy products on Amazon, you’re among many. And there may be a time when you need to not only see all of your purchases for a time period but hold onto a record of them. You might need to show expenses for business supplies or just want to keep track of your Amazon spending.
Whatever your reason may be, Amazon makes it pretty easy to export your purchases to a spreadsheet that you’re able to save or share, and here’s how.
Generate an Order History Report on Amazon
Head on over to theAmazon websiteand log in. After you log in, click this link to theOrder History Reports.
Note: According tothe Amazon Help page, you can get to the Order History Reports in theYour Accountarea of the site. However, after much searching, I was unable to find it. If the above link doesn’t work for you, head tothe Amazon Help pageand clickOrder History Reportsfrom there.
Once you arrive on the Order History Reports page, the rest is easy.
1)Choose theReport Typefrom Items, Orders and Shipments, Refunds, or Returns.
2)Select theStartandEnd Datesfor the report. Alternatively, you can pick one of theQuick Set Optionsto the right.
3)Optionally, you can give the report a name.
4)ClickRequest Report.
After you request the report, it takes only a minute or so for it to generate. But remember, that depends on the time frame and the number of items in the report.
You can then access the report on that same screen at the bottom. You should also receive an email with a link to the report and can grab it from the Downloads area of your browser.
If the above steps don’t work for you, here’s how to get your Amazon order history:
1)Log in to your Amazon account.
2)Clickyour namefrom the top right and chooseYour Account.
3)Scroll down and clickRequest Your Informationunder Data and Privacy.
4)SelectYour Ordersand clickSubmit Request.
5)Open your email added to your Amazon account, and you should see an email from Amazon. ClickConfirm Data Request.
View your Amazon purchase history
When you click to open the report, it will open with your default spreadsheet application, such as Numbers or Excel, unless you specify otherwise. And the report contains a ton of details for the items like order date and ID, price, payment type, shipment date, tax exemption information, and much more.
If you need to review and save a record of your Amazon purchases, this tip should help. And remember that you can use that Order History Report for refunds and returns if you need to as well.
