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 APIs on the APIs.io network, including csv API, fulfillments API, markets API, and 14 more. Tagged areas include Company, eCommerce, Dropshipping, Marketplace, and Commerce.

The Canal catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Canal’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 19 more developer resources.
