What the Katana–Flexport (Deliverr) integration does

Flexport (formerly Deliverr) is an ecommerce fulfillment and logistics platform. It connects merchants' sales channels to fulfillment operations, including inventory placement, order fulfillment, and last-mile delivery.

By connecting Katana with Flexport (Deliverr), you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Flexport orders become Katana sales orders and keep updating, with each shipped package added as a fulfillment with carrier and tracking.

  • Send sales orders to Flexport (Deliverr) for fulfillment: A Katana sales order is pushed to Flexport when it reaches Ready for fulfillment, and cancelling it in Katana cancels the pushed order.

  • Import products by SKU: Products match existing Katana items by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge mismatched SKUs.

  • See read-only stock levels: Flexport stock appears as External inventory at each warehouse's mapped Katana location.

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

Before you start

  • An active Flexport account with access to your Flexport Seller Portal.
