Zalando Shopware

Keep Zalando and Shopware 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 Shopware by itself, in the shape Shopware 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 Shopware, and how often.

  1. Orders

    to Shopware automatically

    Every order becomes an order in Shopware with line items, matched on EAN or SKU, so you handle it all from Shopware without retyping.

  2. Inventory

    to Shopware automatically

    A sale updates stock in Shopware, so you never sell the same last unit on two channels at once.

Both sides

What each side expects

Zalando and Shopware 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.

Shopware

A shop platform needs to point each line at a product, usually via SKU or barcode, and track stock per product.

Common questions

Can you connect Zalando to Shopware?

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

What does the connector match products on in Shopware?

On EAN barcode or SKU. Those have to line up on both sides; anything that does not match automatically you map once by hand, and it is remembered after that.

Does the connector touch my existing Shopware orders?

No. Schakel only creates new orders in Shopware and leaves your existing ones alone.

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

What does connecting Zalando and Shopware 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 Shopware?

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 Shopware does not lag behind what actually sold.

What if Zalando or Shopware 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.
