Updated July 14, 2025


Broaden your customer base across various channels and enhance your visibility. Foster a deeper connection to your audience by sharing exciting stories about your brand, values, articles, collections and collaborations. All in one tool and at no cost.

What is Brand Homes?

Establish a unique brand presence by utilising our Brand Homes content management system (CMS) to build a dedicated brand page and publish it on Zalando. 

Upload and manage diverse media content, effectively presenting your articles and building a loyal audience. 

Enhance engagement by curating and publishing content, which will trigger automatic, real-time email and app push notifications to your customer base. 

These elements make up a Brand Home

  • A Brand Home header with an image and copy introducing the brand

  • A Follow button 

  • Category navigation

  • 1 to max. 20 Collections and/or Brand Stories to showcase articles and stories

The Brand Home header always appears at the top of the page. To achieve an optimal customer experience, we advise creating a minimum of two Collections or Brand Stories alongside the Brand Home header.

The Collections and Brand Stories are dynamically ordered based on their performance and the expected shopping behaviour of individual customers.

What are Collections?

Collections are a powerful tool that connects various articles with creative assets. Excite and engage customers by showcasing your key products, stories, capsules, hot drops, brand and influencer collaborations and much more.

What are Brand Stories?

Tell your brand's story and engage with your audience on Zalando by using Brand Stories. These vertical videos in 9:16 format are perfect for showcasing your brand's history, values and stories about your articles and collections.
