Brands we work with
Who is it for?
For any (online) retailer in the field of fashion and lifestyle, Zalando is the ideal channel to increase reach, grow the brand and boost conversion. However, unlike Amazon, Zalando is not an open marketplace. That means you can’t just sign up and get started. Instead, you must receive approval after signing up. Requirements are that you must sell fashion items and offer free shipping and returns for up to 100 days.
Regarding partnerships, you have two options: the basic Partner Program or the Zalando Fulfillment Service (ZFS). Want to know which option will drive the best results? Schedule a free consult, and we’ll immediately steer you in the right direction!
