Description
What are the marketplace connectors from Kontainer?
Kontainer’s integration to marketplaces makes it possible to manage all your product images and data in one place – and export them in the correct size, quality and format.
With the help of Download Templates you can set up templates that automatically adapt your files to the specific requirements of each platform.
When a marketplace updates its requirements you simply adjust the template in Kontainer – and all future export files automatically follow.
That means faster time-to-market, fewer errors and a consistent presentation across all channels.

How the connection works
FTP, API or direct download links
1. Create your download templates
Create Download Templates in Kontainer that match the requirements of your marketplaces.
Each template defines image size, format, colour space, background and naming.
2. Automatic formatting
Once your images are uploaded, Kontainer automatically converts the files according to the template’s specifications – e.g. Zalando-standard like JPEG 1800×2600 px in sRGB with a neutral background.
3. Distribution to marketplaces
Export the finished files manually or automatically via FTP, API or direct download links to Zalando, Boozt and other platforms.
4. Ongoing updates
When platforms change requirements, you can easily edit your template – and all future downloads will follow the new specifications.
Use Cases
Typical use-cases
Fashion and retail brands
Brands selling clothing, shoes and accessories across Zalando, Boozt and other platforms can automate adaptation of product images and data structures so each product meets marketplace-specific demands.
Image and content teams
Marketing and e-commerce teams managing large volumes of product images can use Kontainer’s templates to generate the correct format, cropping and background in seconds — instead of editing manually.
PIM-responsibles
Teams working in Kontainer’s PIM can export product data, images and metadata together in the correct file types so the integration to the marketplace happens without errors or redundant work.
International companies
Companies with sales in multiple markets can easily create different templates for e.g., Zalando DE, Boozt SE and About You DK – each with their own formats and requirements.

FAQ
How do I ensure that my images meet marketplace requirements?
By using Download Templates in Kontainer you can define exact specifications for file type, size, colour space and background. The system automatically generates the images in the correct format – so you always meet the requirements.
Can I connect the integration directly to Zalando and Boozt?
Yes. Kontainer can export files directly via FTP, API or as download links, so the material is delivered directly in the desired format.
What happens if the requirements from Zalando or Boozt change?
You simply update your template in Kontainer – and the system ensures that all future files follow the new requirements. You can also notify the Kontainer Support team, who will ensure any script or automation is adjusted as needed.
Can the integration be used for other marketplaces besides Zalando and Boozt?
Yes. Kontainer’s marketplace-integration can be configured for any platform that receives product images and data digitally.
Does Kontainer comply with Zalando’s image quality guidelines?
Kontainer helps you ensure compliance with Zalando’s “Image Guidelines” by automating format, resolution and background. You can even restrict access so that only approved versions are used, preventing unedited or incorrectly cropped images from being sent to Zalando.
Can I share files directly with Zalando or their partners via Kontainer?
Yes. You can share folders or specific files via secure, access-controlled links. That means Zalando’s team or your external partners can fetch images directly from Kontainer – without gaining access to your entire library.
Does Kontainer help reduce errors in Zalando feeds?
Absolutely.
By gathering images and metadata in one system you can validate data before export, thereby avoiding typical “feed errors” such as missing links, incorrect colour values or invalid filenames. The result is fewer rejections and faster product approval at Zalando.
Is Kontainer secure and GDPR-compliant?
Yes, 100 %. Kontainer is hosted in the EU, complies with GDPR, and offers advanced access control, user rights and audit logs. This means your files and data are always protected – even when shared with external partners such as Zalando.
What benefits do I get from using Kontainer compared to delivering directly to Zalando?
With Kontainer you get:
- A faster time-to-market for new products
- Automated image formatting and data export
- Consistent brand identity across channels
- Fewer errors and rejections in Zalando’s systems
- Secure, centralised sharing of files and documentation
In short: You save time, minimize errors and ensure a professional visual expression on Zalando.
