AI-assisted shopping & checkout 

Drive AI discoverability and sales with one inventory source of truth  

Buyers can now browse, compare products, and check out inside AI tools. Support AI-assisted shopping and checkout with accurate, real-time stock across every location and channel.

Get your inventory ready for AI chat checkout 

AI is the new sales channel. If you sell on Shopify, your buyers can find and buy your products inside AI shopping surfaces without ever visiting your website.

Get ahead of the next checkout flow without rebuilding your whole stack. Real-time updates, shared numbers across systems, and unified availability across channels that help you get surfaced when customers shop for what you sell.

One stock picture for every tool in your stack 

Keep every system on the same page about stock. A single inventory view – across channels and locations – reduces mismatches between checkout and fulfillment, so chat-driven orders land cleanly and ship without last-minute “do we have it?” checks. 

Second-by-second inventory updates 

Make inventory move as fast as AI. Stay discoverable with sales, receipts, returns, and transfers that update availability live and keep AI chat checkout from exposing gaps between systems.

Protect your bestsellers across every channel 

Add AI chat checkout as a new channel without losing control of stock. Set clear availability rules tied to real inventory and commitments, then keep Shopify, FBA, and your 3PL working from the same limits. Tight control stops the same unit getting sold twice, especially on bestsellers and limited runs. 

Stay visible and trusted in AI chat shopping 

Sell where customers are starting to shop – inside AI tools- and stay ready for orders that move faster than a human stock check. Katana gets you the early mover advantage with clean, dependable inventory across the tools you already run. 

Stay recommendable in AI chats 

Show up early in AI chat shopping and keep your catalog “safe to recommend” with live availability across locations and channels. Katana keeps counts accurate, with connections supported through apps and implementation partners, so AI chats surface only what you can fulfill as demand grows. 

  • Keep availability consistent across storefronts and fulfillment 
  • Reduce “out of stock” surprises at checkout 

Add a new channel without adding a new mess 

Keep AI chat checkout from multiplying inventory work across a growing stack. Katana connects the tools you already use – Shopify, Amazon FBA, and 3PL fulfillment – so stock and order changes stay aligned from checkout through shipping. 

  • Cut manual cross-checks between systems 
  • Keep operations predictable as volume and channel mix grow 

Protect trust during simultaneous checkouts

Handle multiple orders – from AI tools and your existing channels – hitting at once without double-selling. Katana keeps availability aligned across channels and locations, protecting fast movers from oversells that lead to cancellations. 

  • Prevent double-selling on fast movers and limited runs 
  • Cut cancellations and refund-heavy order fixes
