Connect Zalando
Zalando sells fashion on EAN with size variants, runs a strict fulfilment SLA and carries the high return rates that come with fashion. The payout through the Partner Programme arrives net, with commission already deducted. Schakel reads your orders, returns and stock through the zDirect API and puts it where it belongs: in your accounting at the right country rate, and in step with your own webshop per EAN and size.
What travels with Zalando
-
Orders into your books
Every Zalando order becomes a sales invoice with lines per EAN and size, the customer as a contact and the order number as reference. Nothing is retyped.
-
Commission booked separately
Zalando commission and other costs are booked separately on their own ledger account, so the net payout and your margin add up.
-
Returns and credit notes
Fashion carries high return rates. Each return becomes a credit invoice for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order.
-
Stock and VAT per country
Stock per EAN and size stays in step with your own webshop. Sales to Germany or other EU countries get the delivery-country rate, ready for OSS.
Why connect Zalando
- Stock per size stays in step with your own webshop.
- The high return flow of fashion is booked cleanly as credit invoices.
- Commission sits apart, so the net payout adds up.
- VAT per delivery country is correct, ready for your OSS return.
