Key features

Breakdown of the connection between Amazon FBA and Katana
  • Products are imported from Amazon

    • Matched by SKU. If no matches are found, a new product is created in Katana

  • Designated location created in Katana to reflect Amazon FBA's inventory

  • Automated inventory reconciliation

    • Schedule Katana to regularly check that stock levels match between Amazon and Katana (reconciliation can be done manually as well)

  • Shipped orders in Amazon are synced to Katana as delivered orders

To connect this integration, you will need to have a couple of things prepared beforehand, such as:

  • An Amazon Seller account

  • Active listings on your Amazon Seller account
