What syncs between Katana and Stylux
The table below summarizes each data flow between Katana and Stylux.
Data | Direction | Status |
Products | Stylux → Katana | Available |
Inventory sync | Stylux → Katana | Available |
Locations and mapping
After you connect Stylux, the configuration screen opens on the Location tab. Each Stylux warehouse maps 1:1 to its own dedicated Katana location.
Add to Katana creates the Katana location for a warehouse automatically.
A warehouse that has never been mapped shows Not mapped until you click Add to Katana.
To pause a mapped warehouse, click Unlink. Its status then shows Unlinked. Click Relink to resume it.
Only mapped warehouses sync. Nothing syncs until you click Activate sync in the header.
Products sync
Product mapping creates a required link between each Stylux product and a Katana item. Products are imported by SKU:
If a Stylux SKU matches an existing Katana product or variant, the two are linked.
If a SKU is unknown in Katana, Katana creates the product just-in-time.
In the mapping settings, choose how SKUs are matched: direct 1:1, or through SKU aliases.
Kits and bundles from Stylux become Katana products. To track their components, add a bill of materials (BOM) to the product in Katana.
SKU aliases
A SKU alias links a Stylux SKU to a Katana SKU with a different value. Use aliases when the same item has different SKUs in Stylux and Katana, so the item matches your existing Katana product instead of creating a duplicate. Upload your SKU alias mapping before the product import runs.
Inventory sync
Stylux is the source of truth for physical stock. Its stock levels appear in Katana as read-only External inventory at each warehouse's mapped location. The number shown is the Stylux On hand quantity.
Reconciliation compares Katana's in-stock quantity with Stylux's on-hand quantity. It runs on a schedule or whenever you trigger it. For any difference, Katana creates a stock adjustment, so the stock levels you plan from match what is physically in the Stylux warehouse.
What does not sync
Sales orders: Stylux orders are not imported, and Katana orders are not sent to Stylux.
Fulfillments, shipments, and tracking numbers.
Inbound shipments and stock transfers.
Products and stock changes from Katana. Katana never pushes these to Stylux.
Returns and RMAs.
Serial-number tracking. Lot and batch data appears read-only where Stylux provides it.
Disconnecting
To disconnect, go to the Integrations page in Katana, open Stylux, and disconnect it. Syncing stops immediately, including product imports, External inventory updates, and reconciliation. Records already brought into Katana stay in your account. This includes products, locations, and stock adjustments.
