What the Katana–Picqer integration does
Picqer is warehouse-management software for online stores and fulfillment companies. It handles warehouse operations such as purchasing, picking, shipping, and stock counting.
By connecting Katana with Picqer, you can:
Import orders as sales orders: Each Picqer order becomes a Katana sales order that keeps updating through later status changes, with fulfillments and tracking.
Send Katana sales orders to Picqer for fulfillment: A Katana sales order is pushed to Picqer as an outbound order when it reaches the Ready for fulfillment status.
Sync cancellations: A cancelled Picqer order is removed from Katana, and its fulfillments are reverted first.
Import products by SKU: Picqer products match existing Katana products by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge mismatched SKUs.
See read-only stock levels: Picqer stock numbers appear as external inventory at each warehouse's mapped Katana location.
Track inbound shipments as stock transfers: Each Picqer inbound shipment becomes a Katana stock transfer that follows its receiving progress.
