Zalando only trades with reputable manufacturers, like Nike and Adidas for their sneakers, which makes Zalando’s products genuine and authentic. It has a major presence in 17 European countries and gains over 119 million monthly visits with 35 million active users.

To fully optimize using Zalando, you need the help of a Zalando proxy. Zalando proxies have many use cases and there are many ways for it to become extremely helpful for you. An example would be if you want to get the latest, limited-edition sneakers in Zalando using a sneaker bot to expedite the checkout process. You would need the help of Zalando proxies to avoid getting flagged and banned by Zalando because of Zalando’s strict policy against the use of bots.

Another example is when you live in a country or location that doesn't have access to Zalando. You will not be able to purchase any items without the help of a Zalando proxy to change your location. Through geo-targeting, you can easily change your IP address and location to a place where Zalando is available. This enables you to purchase any products from Zalando and you can arrange a third party to receive that product and send it to your actual location.

Depending on what you want, the best Zalando proxies to use would be either residential proxies or or datacenter proxies. If you want full assurance that your bot won’t be banned by Zalando while also giving you total anonymity, then residential proxies are the one for you. If you value speed and want a faster internet connection, then datacenter proxies are what’s best for you.

Let’s set up a Zalando proxy server.

Note: A reminder to make sure that the web browser you’re using for Zalando is set to automatically copy your system’s proxy settings. It’s recommended to use Google Chrome because it automatically does this.
