Somewhat in the vein of data hoarding - for those of you who keep track of what you order, Amazon will be removing the Order History Reports in March 20, 2023.

This report allows you to download a csv file with all of your order history information and is useful for things such as insurance purposes. The furthest back you can go for data was January 1st, 2006.

If you’ve never used the report before, refer to this help page.

• Edited to clarify that it’s only the CSV report that’s going away. Your order history will still be available in the web interface. It’ll just be much harder to export the information.

Posting this as a PSA for anyone who might be looking to find their 2023 order history exported as a CSV, and stumbled into other Reddit posts advertising Chrome extensions or paid-for scraping software that achieves the same.

You can quite literally just request the data directly from Amazon from here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/privacy-central/data-requests/preview.html

As tax season gears up, I figured this might help out a few people, as I didn't realize this until I waited WAYY too long in a customer support chat.

In another thread I realized many people do not know that it's possible to download your Amazon transactions into a spreadsheet and it is itemized by item, not by order.

Here is the link to access these reports. I run it every month when I do my budget and I can copy and paste everything into my budget spreadsheet. So much better than manual entry!

I want to download all my order history - how can that be done?

there used to be a very easy way - but they removed it :/ why?

>"Amazon is required to provide customers with access to their personal data."

but I can not find it

please help

please advise

Ever since Amazon got rid of order report functionality last year, I’ve been trying to find an easy way to export my order history. As it turns out, Amazon actually still offers a way to do this using their “Request My Data” tool, though it’s buried deep within their help pages.

Here’s the direct link to access: https://www.amazon.com/hz/privacy-central/data-requests/preview.html

There actually a number of different data sets you can download, most notably:

• Your Orders

• Search History

• Advertising

• Amazon Photos and Drive

• Prime Video

• Customer Support Communication

Unfortunately, the process to access the data requires a few steps – you submit a request, then have to confirm it by clicking a link sent to your email. You will then receive a link a few hours later to download the requested data.

I’ve only tried requesting order information thus far, but am pleasantly surprised with the robustness of the data. Here's a link to a high level summary I put together showing the full set of reports and fields Amazon provides when you request your order data

There are obviously a ton of things you can look at in this data, though wanted to highlight a few based on common questions I see on this subreddit

• Returns Tracking – a lot of folks have reported issues with not knowing the tracking numbers for returns (e.g., if they are dropped off at UPS via QR code). The “Return Requests” file lists the tracking number for all returns you’ve requested

• Return Reimbursement – the return reports also provide a comprehensive list of refunds from Amazon. You should be able to compare this information to your return requests to make sure that there aren’t any items that you sent back but haven’t been refunded for (I’ve already identified a few in my data!)

• Prime Subscription Tracking – transactions related to your Prime subscription are in the “digital order” reports, which may be worth checking to ensure you aren’t being double charged for Prime, etc.

Hopefully others find this as helpful as I did (and apologies if this was common knowledge already!)

Anyone able to download their purchase history? Was able to do it before but now all the provided link on the page does is redirect me to my "Your Orders" page.

When amazon order history report was temporarily dysfunctional a few years ago, someone wrote a plugin or app or something that allowed you to make an order history report. Since amazon has discontinued it, does anyone know if there's some other way to create a list of amazon orders?

Does anyone know if there is anyway to view annual spending figures or anything like that? (I know that amazon.com has a download reports feature)

It seems that amazon.ca has disabled all forms of order analytics. Customer service seemingly doesn't have access to the figures and told me to use my bank statements.

I'm a heavy Amazon shopper since 2012 and average around 300 items per year even without Vine. Now I have 200 orders just in the past 3 months and it's a giant mess.

The problem is come tax season I have to figure out exactly what the heck was a business expense or not. It's going to be a disaster, because Amazon doesn't give a neat spreadsheet for non-Vine items, instead I have to go through each order page and literally jot down each order, this coupled with the Vine items means that process will take twice as long...

Exactly as the title says. The order is from around 2006 if my hazy memory serves me right, but all the options on the website that I found only allow searches for 2014. I'm normally a .co.uk customer if that matters (And does allow me to look at all I've ever ordered)

Without having to go through each purchase and tally up?

Is anyone else having trouble generating order history reports (https://www.amazon.com/gp/b2b/reports)?

I have tried several times this month and the reports always hang on "Processing (0%)"

A handy guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/292918/how-to-see-how-much-youve-spent-on-amazon/

Since my account is older than 2006, and I kept getting processing failures when I tried to fetch from 2006 onward, I had to set the start date as "1/1/2007"

The summation can be easily calculated once the data output is imported into a spreadsheet program like Excel or its free equivalent alternative.

I thought this would be pretty helpful for us heavy Amazon shoppers to be periodically aware of and track on a year to year basis.

Wondering if anyone has an easy way to say generate an xml or csv report of what say a months worth of purchases from amazon? I've been tasked with creating a budgeting spreadsheet, while I'm pretty good with excel I cant figure out how to get the data from amazon.

I asked the person if they could just match up the charges against their CC statement, but the statement just says "amazon", with no indication what the $$$ was spent on, making budget tracking difficult.

Anyone have a solution for this?

Stumbled across this today and hoping someone may find it useful.

In trying to get serious about creating a budget, I recently pulled together all the ‘money out’ detail I could gather on my accounts - credit cards, checks, ACH, Venmo, Zelle, etc. into a master spreadsheet to categorize spending and attempt to more accurately answer the question - where does all the money go?

While a bit painful, I found the exercise to be totally worthwhile, and honestly was quite easy to export the data from various sites as a starting point. The hard work was rolling up each line item into meaningful ‘buckets’ for analysis - but this was also the eye opening part.

That done, I still found myself with a “fuck-ton” of generic Amazon charges on my card which could span anything from pets to home maintenance to education, and beyond. Much as I wanted to, I knew it was unrealistic to try and audit (by hand) several years worth of order history.

Now for the “how-to” part - it’s a bit hidden on the site, but if you go to the help page in My Account and search for “Order History Reports”, you are able to generate a CSV export with all the detail you’ll need to break those Amazon charges down into something more insightful and better understand - where does all the money go…

Good luck, hope this helps someone.
