Zalando - Orders management

You can manage your orders in the Lengow platform.

Order retrieval

Lengow retrieves orders placed on Zalando hourly.

Zalando order statuses

Orders go through various statuses in Lengow while being processed. 

For Zalando, here are the Lengow statuses you can find on your orders: 
  

✅ "new" corresponding to the Zalando statuses:

  • "initial" 
  • "New" 
  • "NEW"

Zalando is in charge of approving the order at this stage, not the merchant.

✅ "waiting_acceptance" corresponding to the Zalando statuses:

  • "approved" 
  • "Approved"

The order is awaiting acceptance, you need to accept it

✅ "waiting_shipment" corresponding to the Zalando status:

  • "exported"

Possible actions on "waiting_shipment" order:
- cancel
- shipShip action requires "carrier" and "tracking_number" to be specified.
It is strongly recommended to add the "
return_tracking_number" at this status (read below). The "line" may be specified.

Although Zalando does not make it mandatory in its API, the "return_tracking_number" is imperative for Zalando partners to avoid CXM penalization.
If this information is not provided, partners risk deactivation.

✅ "shipped" corresponding to the Zalando statuses:  

  • "fulfilled" 
  • "SHIPPED"

Possible actions on "shipped" order:
refundRefund action requires "refund_reason" to be specified. Do not enter a "refund_quantity" (number of products to refund) if the whole order is being reimbursed.
Wait until you receive the product to perform the refund action. Lengow then informs Zalando that the product has been returned and the customer will be refunded.


 ✅ "refunded" corresponding to the Zalando statuses:

  • "refunded" 
  • "returned"
  • "RETURNED"
