What the Katana–Shipedge integration does

Shipedge is a cloud-based, modular logistics solution that combines warehouse management, order management, shipping, and fulfillment. It connects sales channels, marketplaces, and carriers so you can manage orders, inventory, and tracking in one place.

By connecting Katana with Shipedge, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Shipedge orders become Katana sales orders and keep updating through later status changes, including cancellations.

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

  • Track fulfillments and shipments: Each shipped package becomes a Katana fulfillment with carrier and tracking details.

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

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

  • Turn inbound shipments into stock transfers: Each Shipedge inbound shipment becomes a Katana stock transfer that tracks receiving.
