Zalando Moneybird

Keep Zalando and Moneybird updated automatically.

Today you sign in to the seller account, look at what sold and carry it over by hand. What you already processed you track somewhere else. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Zalando lands in Moneybird by itself, in the shape Moneybird expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The problem

What this connector takes off your hands

  • Today you sign in to the seller account, look at what sold and carry it over by hand. What you already processed you track somewhere else.

  • Today you type sales into Moneybird by hand, pick the right ledger account and VAT rate per line, and afterwards match the bank entry to the right invoice. One wrong account and your quarterly figures stop adding up.

The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between Zalando and Moneybird, and how often.

  1. Invoices

    to Moneybird automatically

    Every sale becomes an invoice in Moneybird with its own line items and the order number as reference, so you can trace it back without retyping.

  2. Contacts

    to Moneybird automatically

    The customer is recorded as a contact in Moneybird or reused by email, so no duplicate relation appears.

  3. VAT

    to Moneybird automatically

    The VAT rate is set per line, and foreign sales get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.

Both sides

What each side expects

Zalando and Moneybird do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Zalando

A marketplace supplies orders with their own order number and their own lines, plus returns and cancellations that arrive separately.

Moneybird

Moneybird wants to know, per invoice line, which ledger account and which VAT rate it falls under. A contact has to exist before an invoice can hang off it, and an invoice only counts as paid once a payment is linked to it.

Common questions

Can you connect Zalando to Moneybird?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Zalando and Moneybird, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Which VAT rate do my sales get in Moneybird?

The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.

Are commission and fees booked separately in Moneybird?

Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Moneybird, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.

Do I still have to log into Zalando once the connector runs?

No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the Zalando seller account arrives in Moneybird by itself. You only open Zalando when you want to check something yourself.

What does connecting Zalando and Moneybird cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does Zalando sync with Moneybird?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

What happens to a return or refund in Moneybird?

A return becomes a credit invoice in Moneybird for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.

Does the connector also pick up Zalando returns and cancellations?

Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on Zalando, so Moneybird does not lag behind what actually sold.
