What the Katana–Amplifier integration does

Amplifier is an e-commerce fulfillment and logistics platform that combines order management, warehouse and inventory management, fulfillment, and shipping for brands selling across multiple sales channels.

By connecting Katana with Amplifier, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each Amplifier order becomes a Katana sales order, and shipped packages arrive as fulfillments with carrier and tracking details.

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

  • Import products by SKU: Amplifier products match existing Katana items by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge SKUs that differ between the two systems.

  • See Amplifier stock levels: Amplifier's stock appears in Katana as read-only external inventory at each mapped location.

  • Map warehouses to locations: Each Amplifier warehouse is linked to its own dedicated Katana location.
