How to integrate Simple Bundles with Katana
This article applies to Simple Bundles 1.0. If you're using Simple Bundles 2.0, refer to How to set up Simple Bundles with your 3PL or WMS.
To send Simple Bundles 1.0 bundle items to Katana MRP, turn on Katana's setting that syncs order changes from Shopify. Simple Bundles 1.0 adds bundle items by editing the order after checkout, so Katana only receives them if it syncs those changes.
How do I sync bundle items to Katana?
- In Katana, open the Integrations Marketplace.
- Open the configuration page for your connected Shopify store.
- On the Orders tab, turn on Order changes from Shopify.
- Save your changes.
Note: Katana only syncs order changes made after you turn this setting on. Orders that Simple Bundles edited before then won't update in Katana. For details, see Katana's guide to changing Shopify connection configurations.
Why is this setting needed?
When a customer buys a bundle, Shopify creates the order with only the bundle product. Simple Bundles 1.0 then edits the order to add the bundle items. Katana imports the order when it's created, so without order change sync it never sees the items added afterward.
If you also want Shopify to send fulfillment requests for the added items, see Request fulfillment of orders after bundle items are added.
Does Simple Bundles 2.0 handle this differently?
Yes. On regular online store checkouts, 2.0 adds bundle items at checkout through Shopify's Cart Transform API, so they're on the order when it's created and Katana imports them without relying on order edits. Orders where Cart Transform can't run still use order editing. See How to set up Simple Bundles with your 3PL or WMS.
