Streamline your shipping process by connecting Shippo with Katana through Extensiv Integration Manager.
What is Shippo?
Shippo is a shipping technology platform, API, and web app that helps e-commerce businesses, marketplaces, and platforms streamline their shipping processes.
It helps you:
Compare carrier rates
Print shipping labels
Manage shipments in one place
When integrated with Katana, you can send sales orders (SOs) directly to Shippo, making order fulfillment faster and more efficient.
How it works
In Extensiv, Katana is set up as a Cart (Order Source) and Shippo as a WMS (Order Destination).
SOs are sent from Katana → Shippo via Extensiv when:
The order is created, OR
The order is marked as Packed in Katana (you choose this in Extensiv Cart settings).
Once an order is shipped in Shippo (WMS), the SO status in Katana is updated to Delivered.
Note: Before starting, decide whether Katana will act as an Order Source, Order Destination, or both. The recommended setup for Shippo is Katana = Cart, Shippo = WMS. Read more.

Step 1: Create an Extensiv account

Step 2: Connect Katana
