What to Track in Your Basetao Spreadsheet: Essential Data Points

The difference between a useless basetao spreadsheet and a powerful one comes down to what you track. Too few columns and you miss critical details. Too many and updating becomes a chore. This guide lists the exact data points worth tracking, explains why each matters, and shows you which ones you can safely skip as a beginner.

Non-Negotiable Tracking Fields

Every basetao spreadsheet needs these core fields: Order Number, Item Name, Product URL, Seller Name, Item Price, Agent Fee Percentage, Shipping Method, Tracking Number, QC Status, and Delivery Status. These ten fields capture the entire lifecycle from discovery to doorstep.

The Product URL is more important than most beginners realize. It is your single source of truth. When a dispute arises six weeks later, that URL takes you directly to the product page, the seller profile, and your original quote.
