Unlike other integration platforms like Zapier and Make, Extensiv Integration Manager is designed to support order management workflows. This makes it ideal for setting up sales order flows or connecting to CRM, POS, and order management systems of your choice.
Using Extensiv Integration Manager, Katana can be a:
Cart [represents Order Source] — Sales Orders (SO's) and related info are pushed from Katana to WMS (e.g. to shipping providers, 3PL services, another Katana account)
Warehouse Management System (WMS) [represents Order Destination] — SO's and related info are pushed to Katana (e.g. from e-commerce marketplaces, POS, OMS)
This opens up the opportunity to integrate with a whole new world of apps, further expanding what you can do with Katana. For example, you can effortlessly connect to 3PL services and shipping providers or channel all your sales to Katana.
NOTE: You can have one WMS per Extensiv Merchant account. To connect more, you'll need to upgrade your plan. Learn more about Extensiv Integration Manager here

Connecting Extensiv to Katana
Connecting Extensiv Integration Manager to Katana is easy and only takes a few minutes.
Beginning Steps:
Once logged in, continue to set up Katana. Extensiv can send orders to one WMS system per account. This means, that you can connect one Katana account as an Order Destination/WMS in Extensiv. If you need to connect more order destinations, please contact Extensiv support to upgrade your account.
Connect Katana as an Order Destination
Extensiv refers to the order destination as WMS. If you authorize a Katana connection with WMS, then Extensiv imports sales orders and related info from Carts to Katana (e.g. push sales orders from Amazon FBA to Katana) and updates related inventory per your choice.
NOTE: The number of available WMS connections is determined by your Extensiv plan
If you choose to connect to Katana as WMS, pick Katana MRP from the list to Grant API Access. This is an authorization of the connection between Extensiv and Katana.
