How to sell on Zalando

Sell products on Zalando in six steps

Success on Zalando depends on clean product data, correct categories, regular product updates, reliable pricing and inventory logic, and stable order management. Channel Pilot Solutions automates these steps and ensures high listing quality – the foundation for visibility and conversion.

  • Connect Zalando Account

    Register with Zalando and send Channel Pilot Solutions an invitation via zDirect. We will then establish the connection directly within Zalando – thereby creating the technical foundation for automated exports, updates, as well as order imports and order status updates.

  • Import Product Catalog

    Import your product catalog from your shop, PIM, or ERP. Titles, descriptions, prices, variant-forming attributes, images, and stock information form the basis for clean product data quality on Zalando.

  • Assign categories and attributes

    Assign your categories and products to the correct Zalando categories. You can do this centrally at the category level or specifically per item. This ensures that Zalando correctly classifies your data and your products are displayed in the appropriate structure.

    At the same time, you are laying the foundation for category-specific attributes, ensuring that important fields are complete and reducing errors during listing.

  • Set up and validate Zalando Feed

    Organize your feed data for Zalando cleanly, including mandatory and recommended attributes. Channel Pilot Solutions checks your data export and helps you identify and fix listing issues early.

    Important: Zalando does not have offer updates. Therefore, the existing listing structure should ideally be maintained. Define the product and variant structure cleanly before go-live and roll out changes in a controlled manner.

  • Perform test listings & functional checks

    Verify the correct transfer of prices, stock levels, variants, and product information in the Zalando Partner Program. Check exemplary listings, processes, and order flows.

  • Go-Live & Automatic Update

    Go live with your Zalando channel. Channel Pilot Solutions automatically updates inventory, prices, and variants – for stable performance and scalable sales.
