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!

You can leave the intricacies of marketplaces to VNDR. so you can focus on your brand. We work as a team, starting with exploring your wishes and needs. After that, we collaboratively work on how to achieve your goals. There are a few things that come into play here:

  • Strategy: your reach via Zalando dramatically surges. Depending on your objective, you can use Zalando to work on brand awareness, brand protection and/or growing your sales.

  • Onboarding: it’s one thing to sign up, another to upload your collection, update it per new season (every six months), and put an appropriate system in place for shipping and return policies.

  • Logistics: Zalando takes care of payments and customer service through the Partner Program. The ZFS handles inventory storage, order management, shipments, and returns.

  • Content: the turnover of the clothing industry is high, partly because of the seasons. In addition, clothing is returned more often than other products. Therefore, keeping your content updated and guiding the customer to the right products is essential.

  • Advertising: whether you advertise products or set up entire campaigns, Zalando Marketing Services (ZMS) provides the platform to do so properly.
