Zalando MyParcel

Keep Zalando and MyParcel 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 MyParcel by itself, in the shape MyParcel expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The link

What travels across the link

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

  1. Inventory

    to MyParcel automatically

    Stock levels travel along into MyParcel, so warehouse and sales sit on the same count.

Both sides

What each side expects

Zalando and MyParcel 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.

MyParcel

An operational system wants complete data: an address that is right, a product that exists, and clarity on exactly what goes out the door.

Common questions

Can you connect Zalando to MyParcel?

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

Does MyParcel need a complete address, and what if it is wrong?

MyParcel needs a full delivery address to make a label. If the country and postcode do not match up, that shipment is held and shows in the log, rather than a wrong label coming out.

Can I choose the carrier in MyParcel myself?

Yes. Which carrier and shipping method MyParcel uses you set there; Schakel only hands the shipment over complete.

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 MyParcel by itself. You only open Zalando when you want to check something yourself.

What does connecting Zalando and MyParcel 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 MyParcel?

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.

Does the connector also pick up Zalando returns and cancellations?

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

What if Zalando or MyParcel is briefly unavailable?

Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
