Step 1: Establish Your Core Structure
Create a new spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel recommended) with the following column headers. These form the backbone of your tracking:
| Column Header | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Seller/Source | Store name or platform. |
| Item Description & Link | Detailed info and URL for easy reference. |
| Quantity & Unit Price | Number of items and cost per unit. |
| Total Item Cost | Quantity × Unit Price (auto-calculate). |
| Domestic Shipping | Shipping fee paid to the seller. |
| Payment Status | Mark as "Unpaid," "Paid," or "Ordered." |
