Frequently asked questions

Which SparkLayer plan do I need to use the Katana integration?

The Katana integration is available on the Professional and Enterprise plans, and works with Shopify stores. You enable it from the SparkLayer Dashboard under Integrations > Partner Integrations, then authorise SparkLayer to access your Katana account.

How does customer data sync between Katana and SparkLayer?

Katana becomes the master of your B2B customer data. Customers are matched by their primary email address, and changes sync one way - from Katana into Shopify and SparkLayer. Names, addresses, phone numbers, company names, discount rates and price list assignments all carry across, and your Katana customer categories map to SparkLayer customer groups.

What happens when I add a new B2B customer in Katana?

New customers assigned to a mapped category automatically sync to Shopify as pending accounts, and receive an invitation email to activate their B2B ordering account.

How does B2B pricing work with Katana?

Price lists are imported into SparkLayer automatically from the pricing rules you set up in Katana - the price list name, ID and currency all carry across. Customers set to a different currency in Katana get automatic price lists with currency conversion.

Are there any limitations to the Katana integration?

The sync is one-way, so changes made directly in Shopify or SparkLayer will not flow back to Katana. A customer's default address maps to both shipping and billing (a Shopify constraint), and pricing deleted in Katana needs to be removed manually in SparkLayer.
