  • Payment Status → Select which order statuses should be pulled into Katana.

  • Item SKU Field → Defines which SKU field Extensiv uses.

    • Required for matching products between eBay and Katana.

    • If SKU is missing, Extensiv falls back to the eBay Internal ID.

  • Translate Item’s Code → Extensiv can match SKUs to aliases before sending them to Katana.

  • eBay Product Sync Options

    • If Sync Product Data = Yes, Extensiv can update inventory levels from Katana to eBay.

    • For SKUs that exist in both systems, inventory will sync automatically.

Hover over the ? icons in Extensiv for more details on each setting.


5. Configure Katana WMS information

  • Auto Create Missing Katana Products

    • If enabled, Extensiv will create new products in Katana for unmatched SKUs.

    • Note: Products are added as new items, not variants.

  • Create Customer Addresses → Decide whether billing and shipping details from eBay orders should be included in the Katana customer profile.

Notes & limitations

  • Extensiv cannot create product variants — only standalone products.

  • If SKUs are not set up, Extensiv uses the eBay Internal ID to match products.
