Keep Zalando and Moneybird updated automatically.
Zalando is the fashion marketplace where you sell through the Partner Programme to customers across Europe, with catalogs full of sizes and colours and a return rate that in fashion is simply high. Zalando withholds commission and pays out per period. Moneybird wants that back as clean sales invoices with the right VAT rate per line. Schakel reads your Zalando sales and books them as sales invoices in Moneybird, with commission apart and every return as a credit note.
What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between Zalando and Moneybird, and how often.
-
Sales as sales invoices per variant
Every Zalando sale becomes a sales invoice in Moneybird with a line per item by size and colour, and the order number as reference. The customer is looked up as a contact, or created if not there yet.
-
VAT per country and OSS
Zalando sells across the EU, so the line gets the destination country rate. Standard, reduced and 0% are set per line, and sales above the EU threshold arrive ready for your OSS return in Moneybird.
-
Commission and payout apart
The commission Zalando withholds is booked separately to its own ledger account, and the period payout is registered as a payment, so your bank balance reconciles without ticking off by hand.
-
The many returns as credit notes
Fashion gets returned a lot. Every Zalando return becomes a credit note in Moneybird for the amount actually refunded, so your revenue and VAT stay correct without you tracking corrections.
What Zalando to Moneybird saves you
- No more retyping Zalando sales from the Partner portal into Moneybird.
- VAT per country is right for sales across the EU, ready for your OSS return.
- Your margin is right: commission sits apart on its own ledger account.
- The many returns become credit notes by themselves, so you fix nothing up by hand.

Common questions
Is the Zalando to Moneybird connector available?
Request this connector and get access. You let us know you want to link Zalando to Moneybird, and we make sure you can get started. You hear from us within 24 hours.
How does the connector handle the many returns in fashion?
Every return becomes a credit note for the amount actually refunded, linked to the original sale. So your revenue and VAT stay right, even with a high return rate.
Does the Zalando period payout reconcile with my bank?
The payout is registered as a payment on the invoices on the ledger you link to Zalando. Commission runs apart, so your bank balance in Moneybird stays right.
Are sizes and colours booked as separate lines?
Yes. Each variant by size and colour goes on its own invoice line with the right item and rate, so in Moneybird you see exactly what sold.
Can I book several Zalando accounts into one administration?
Yes. Several Zalando Partner accounts can feed the same Moneybird administration, each with its own ledger accounts if you want to keep them apart.
Can you connect Zalando to Moneybird?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Zalando and Moneybird, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Moneybird?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in Moneybird?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Moneybird, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
