How to pay at Zalando
The fashion giant "Zalando" will also have to pay at some point. This tip shows you which options you have and what you should consider.
1. From shopping cart to checkout
- To order your items, first go to the shopping cart. Here you can see all the items you will buy in the next step. If there are any items of clothing that you do not want to purchase, you must delete them here.
- Then click on "Checkout", enter your address and in the next step define a payment method.
2. This is how you can pay at Zalando
- Also bill: This is probably the most convenient option, because you do not take any risks. If you don't like the items, you can return the package free of charge using the enclosed package label. You do not need to be interested in the invoice in the package.
- Credit card: Zalando accepts MasterCard, Visa and American Express. Your card will be charged as soon as the goods leave the logistics center.
- PayPal: If you choose PayPal, you will be redirected to the online payment service at the end of the ordering process. After a few minutes, the payment is booked at Zalando and the order is processed immediately in the logistics center. PayPal has the advantage that you do not have to provide your account or credit card details directly.
- Prepayment: You can of course transfer the invoice amount to Zalando in advance. It usually takes two to four working days for payment to be received - even for online transfers. Only then can your order be processed. Due to the waiting time and because you are making an advance payment, this payment option is not recommended.
- Voucher: If you have a voucher or promotional voucher, you can enter it in two places in the payment process: First in step 2 "Payment method" and in step 3 before "Confirmation".
Conclusion
The safest way to pay at Zalando is to purchase on account: you only have to pay after receiving the goods. If you do not like this and you send the items back, there is logically no return transfer as with PayPal, prepayment or credit card payment. After receiving the goods, you have 14 days to transfer the invoice amount. If you do not do this, you will have to expect a reminder and corresponding fees. Paypal is the better alternative for forgetful online shoppers.
