The product feed is used to create a product in the Zalando database. Information like title, color, brand, description, material, and others are defined in this feed.
Create a Product feed
Create your Zalando Product feed in your Koongo account
IMPORTANT: Please take the following Zalando policies regarding product creation into consideration.
Product descriptions must be in German, French or English.
Once an article is created and validated by the Zalando team, it can not be edited or removed. Therefore, it is a good practice to first submit a few products by filtering the feed as described at How can I filter items in a product feed?
A Model ID added as One Size can only have different color and length variations, not also size variations.
Zalando category mapping
Map all your store categories to the Zalando categories. For more information, please check the following:
Please note Zalando should have validated for your account the categories you need to sell on.
Mandatory attributes
Several mandatory attributes have to be filled in the Zalando Product feed:
