What the Katana–Mayple integration does

Mayple is a cross-border fulfillment platform for direct-to-consumer brands. It provides warehousing, inventory management, fulfillment, and international shipping to more than 80 countries.

By connecting Katana with Mayple, you can:

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

  • Import products by SKU: Mayple products match existing Katana products by SKU, unknown SKUs are created automatically, and SKU aliases bridge SKUs that don't match.

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

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