Canal
Canal (now Rokt Catalog, following Rokt's acquisition of Canal) is a dropship and marketplace commerce platform that lets brands, retailers, and platforms sell curated third-party products without holding inventory. Suppliers (Brands) list products into Canal's vetted network; Storefronts (Partners) surface those products, and Canal forwards each order to the Supplier who ships directly to the customer. The Rokt Catalog Platform API (api.shopcanal.com/platform) exposes products, variants, orders, fulfillments, refunds, returns, shops, shipping/tax calculation, and webhooks so custom, headless, and marketplace backends can integrate alongside the native Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce apps. Canal was an a16z portfolio company.
Canal publishes 17 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including CSV API, Fulfillments API, Markets API, and 14 more. Tagged areas include Company, E-Commerce, Dropshipping, Marketplace, and Commerce.
The Canal catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Canal’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 20 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commerce Platform Ecosystems (Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe Apps) | standard | 34.5 (thin) | - | - |
| Amazon Seller Ecosystem (Selling Partner Appstore, Amazon Ads partners) | standard | 34.5 (thin) | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
