What the Katana–Amphora integration does

Amphora is a logistics platform for ecommerce. It connects warehouses, inventory, orders, carriers, and sales channels in one system.

By connecting Katana with Amphora, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each Amphora order becomes a Katana sales order that keeps updating as its status changes, with fulfillments and tracking added as packages ship.

  • Send Katana sales orders to Amphora for fulfillment: A Katana sales order is pushed to Amphora as an outbound order when it reaches the Ready for fulfillment status.

  • Import products by SKU: Amphora products match existing Katana products by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge SKUs that differ.

  • See read-only stock levels: Amphora's stock numbers appear as external inventory at each warehouse's mapped Katana location.

  • Track inbound shipments as stock transfers: Each Amphora inbound shipment becomes a Katana stock transfer that updates as stock is received.

  • Map warehouses to locations: Each Amphora warehouse links to its own dedicated Katana location.
