What the Katana–Skladon integration does

Skladon is a fulfillment and warehouse-management service for online stores, marketplaces, brick-and-mortar stores, and distribution networks. It handles warehousing, order processing, and inventory management.

By connecting Katana with Skladon, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Skladon orders become Katana sales orders and keep updating through later status changes.

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

  • Import products by SKU: Existing Katana products are matched by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge mismatched SKUs.

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

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

  • Map warehouses to locations: Each Skladon warehouse syncs to its own dedicated Katana location.

How your daily workflow looks

  2. Skladon picks and ships the orders, and each shipped package lands in Katana as a fulfillment with carrier and tracking.

  3. Order status changes in Skladon keep updating the matching Katana sales orders. Cancelled orders are removed.

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

  5. Skladon stock levels update as read-only external inventory at your mapped locations. Reconciliation adjusts any differences.

  6. You plan production and purchasing in Katana based on up-to-date orders and stock.
