Step-by-step: download invoices from Zalando

  1. 1

    Sign in on the correct regional storefront

    Go to the Zalando domain where you actually placed the order. That is zalando.de for Germany, zalando.fr for France, zalando.co.uk for the UK, zalando.it for Italy, and so on. Your account technically works across domains, but order history and invoice downloads are tied to the storefront the order was placed on. Sign in with the email and password used for that purchase.

  2. 2

    Open My account then My orders

    Click your name or the profile icon in the top-right corner, then pick My account. From the left sidebar choose My orders. This page lists every order on that regional domain, grouped by date, with status, total, and a details link. The direct path is zalando.{tld}/myaccount/#/orders. If you used a guest checkout, you have to look up the order via the "Track order" link in the confirmation email instead.

  3. 3

    Open the order and request or download the invoice

    Click Details next to the order you need. Inside the order view, Zalando shows items, shipping address, and a Download invoice button once the order has shipped and the invoice has been generated. For very recent orders the button may show "Invoice will be available soon" instead. Click the button to download the PDF. If the option is missing on a shipped order, use the Contact us form on the same page to request the invoice from customer service.

  4. 4

    Check the billing entity and VAT line

    Open the PDF and confirm the seller header. It should be the Zalando country entity that services your delivery address (Zalando SE for Germany, zLabels GmbH for certain private-label items, or the local selling entity for other markets). VAT is charged at the destination country rate and broken out as a separate line. If the entity or VAT rate looks wrong, that is usually a sign the delivery address on the order does not match the one on your books.

  5. 5

    File the PDF and reconcile against the card or Klarna charge

    Rename the file with a consistent pattern such as date-zalando-order-number-amount and drop it into your accounting folder. Reconcile the gross amount on the invoice against the card statement or the Klarna or PayPal payment, keeping in mind that a single order can be split into multiple shipments and therefore multiple invoices. Returns produce a credit note, which is a separate PDF.

About Zalando billing

Zalando is built for buying a pair of trainers on Sunday night, not for supplying a bookkeeper with tidy monthly invoices. The platform issues one PDF per shipment, splits big orders into several parcels, and bills each through a different country entity depending on where the package is headed.

For a business buying uniforms, workwear, or staff gifts across multiple European markets, that turns into a surprisingly fiddly paper trail.

Zalando issues an invoice per shipment, not per order. A single checkout total can produce two or three PDFs over several days, each with its own invoice number and its own shipped date. Filter My orders by delivery date when reconciling against a specific card statement period.

About Zalando

Zalando is a European online fashion retailer founded in 2008 and headquartered in Berlin. Zalando SE is the parent company, with country-specific selling entities operating the storefronts in each market (zalando.de for Germany, zalando.fr for France, zalando.co.uk for the United Kingdom, and separate entities for Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Nordics, Poland, and more than a dozen other countries). The platform is primarily B2C but is used routinely by businesses for uniforms, staff workwear, event outfits, and corporate gifting. Private-label items from Zalando-owned brands are sold through zLabels GmbH. VAT is charged at the destination country rate under EU OSS rules, with the local rate printed on every invoice.

Why people stop doing this by hand

One order a month for a single delivery country: the dashboard is fine. The pain compounds the moment any of the following show up.

Multi-country delivery for a European team means separate storefronts with separate logins, separate entities on the invoices, and separate VAT rates to reconcile. Bulk purchasing for uniforms or events routinely splits across three or four parcels per order, each with its own PDF. Returns add credit notes that have to be matched back to the original invoice manually, because Zalando never rewrites the original. Zalando Plus subscription invoices live in a different section entirely, so it is easy to close the month and realise the loyalty fee was never booked.

There is no bulk export. There is no B2B portal with a consolidated invoice view. The self-serve dashboard is designed for individual shoppers browsing their last five orders, not for a finance team closing a quarter with forty shipments across six countries.

The reliable way to capture Zalando invoices is through the shipping-confirmation emails, which either attach the PDF directly or link to it from the order page. Connect that inbox to Inbox Ledger and the shipment invoices plus credit notes are pulled into one dashboard automatically, no matter which country domain the order lives on.

Next step

One country, a few orders a year: downloading PDFs by hand works. Uniforms for a distributed team, returns every month, or orders across several European storefronts: connect Zalando to Inbox Ledger once and let the invoices come to you instead of the other way round.

Where to look in the dashboard

  • My account then My orders is where shipped-order invoices live, one click per order
  • My account then Zalando Plus is where the loyalty subscription invoice lives, separate from product orders
  • Contact us inside an order is the fallback if the Download invoice button is missing on a shipped order
  • Account details is where you edit the billing name and address that appears on future invoices
  • Order confirmation emails contain direct links to guest-checkout orders that do not show up in My orders

Before you start — quick checklist

  • The invoice PDF lists the correct Zalando country entity for your delivery address as the seller
  • VAT is broken out on its own line at the destination country rate, not the shipping origin rate
  • Your business name and address appear on the invoice, not just your personal name
  • Each shipped parcel has its own invoice if the order was split across shipments
  • Returned items have a matching credit note filed alongside the original invoice
  • The invoice number, order number, and payment method all agree with your bank or Klarna record

Pro tips

  • Zalando issues one invoice per shipment, not per order. An order split into two parcels generates two PDFs with two invoice numbers, even if you see a single total at checkout.
  • Returns never edit the original invoice. Zalando issues a separate credit note PDF once the return is received and refunded. Keep the original invoice and the credit note together so the net position is obvious at year-end.
  • Regional storefronts are separate for invoicing purposes. An order on zalando.de and an order on zalando.fr are billed by different entities, in different languages, with different VAT numbers. Do not try to reconcile them as a single supplier.
  • Guest checkout orders do not appear in My orders. You have to use the order number and email link in the confirmation mail to reach the invoice. Always use the logged-in account for business purchases to keep the trail clean.
  • Zalando Plus is a paid loyalty subscription billed separately from product orders. The subscription invoice lives under My account then Zalando Plus, not in My orders with the product invoices. Easy to miss.
  • For private-label items (Zalando brands such as Anna Field or Pier One), the seller on the invoice may be zLabels GmbH rather than the main Zalando country entity. The VAT treatment is the same, but the legal seller is different, which matters for supplier lists in accounting software.
