What the Katana–ShipOffers integration does

ShipOffers is a logistics and fulfillment company that provides warehousing, pick-and-pack shipping, kitting, inventory management, order processing, and shipment tracking.

By connecting Katana with ShipOffers, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each ShipOffers order becomes one Katana sales order and keeps updating automatically through later status changes.

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

  • Import products by SKU: Products match existing Katana products by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge SKUs that don't match.

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

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

How your daily workflow looks

  1. ShipOffers receives and fulfills your orders from its warehouses.

  2. Orders that reach the configured import-from status import into Katana as sales orders and keep updating as their status changes.

  3. Each shipped package lands in Katana as a fulfillment with carrier and tracking.

  4. Inbound shipments to ShipOffers warehouses appear as Katana stock transfers and update as stock is received.

  5. ShipOffers stock levels update as read-only external inventory at your mapped locations, and reconciliation creates stock adjustments for any differences.

  6. You plan purchasing and production in Katana using up-to-date order and stock data.
