Product must be not exclusive (notcartable) this mode is suggested for non cartable drops.
Add zalando group and name it once you have it, press button ADD TASK
At first you have to choose proxy, then paste link by clicking on PASTE LINK
Select country you want to run (must match the profile one)
Choose your account group
You can select discount code group if discounts still working in your region
Number of tasks : Number of your accounts.
Payment Methode: Invoice or Cash on Delivery is suggested also pre payment, if not avaible in your country, use Paypal.
Put dummy, (must be not exclusive) that means that you can buy it with normal account not cartable only
Enable one checkout if you wan only one checkout
Delays : Delays
Additional parameters:
Stop after: Number of minutes the task will run the product after the initial release
Start before: Number of seconds the task will start trying ATC before the drop time
Select size: Select the size range you want (Sizing based on shoe)
Products can be either normal or exclusive, the difference between the two stay in the ATC and checkout procedure on zalando side.
According to the product type you have to run normal or exclusive modes.
You will be notified on the PanAIO discord server if a dropping product is either normal or exclusive
To run exclusive modes you need to set an exclusive dummy product in the tasks under the "dummy" field.
To recognise if an available product is exclusive check the add-to-cart button in the product page, if it shows "Buy now" then the product is exclusive, if it shows "add to cart" the product is normal.
Remember to check suggested delays
Exclusive modes now fully support multiple item per task, this means that you can put many items in a single task
If you run Release(exclusive) mode is suggested to setup each one of your tasks with the list of all the drops you want to run that day. This way you can start the tasks before the first drop and leave them go until the end of them. • Leave the "Start Before" parameter to the default value (Should be 3 seconds) • Tune the "Stop after" parameter according to how much time you want to run the product after initial release. When the "Stop after" value you set is meet, the task will pause and wait for the next drop timer. If you want to run until the next product is released, set the "Stop after" parameter so that the task will stop 1/2 minutes before the next release. [Example: If you run a sneaker at 10:30 and the next one is at 10:50, the max value for the "stop after" parameter for the sneaker dropping at 10:30 will be 18 or 19 minutes]
The "waiting" status will not save your proxy data totally (even if it drains only a small amount). If you want to reduce the waste, you can increase your delay to an high value. Keep in mind that delay is measured in "ms" and the bot will actually wait at least want time that amount. Therefore, make your calculations and never set a value that exceeds the time left before the start of the next drop you want to run.
These new modes have a different handling from Release(exclusive) and Restock(exclusive) but it's all bot side. If you want to run monitor modes, you should just follow what is written in the above paragraph but with different delays.
With this mode you can parcitipate in zalando raffles, accounts are required to make an entry. You need to only select your account group, profile, proxies and select how many tasks.
Once you paste product you can select sizes you want to enter.
Session mode is used to make accounts login and store the logged in sessions. In this way you won't waste any proxy data for unnecessary operations such as setting payment method, preload ecc. To setup Session mode you only need to select the country, profile, account group and proxies, other fields are not used.
Delays do not matter for this mode.
Create account sessions, whenever you have time, far from drop it is easier to makes account login. Use the Auto restart option to have better chance to login.
Use this mode to active plus trial subscription into your account. This mode avoid to do preload and other useless steps for plus activation. Check Additional task options to understand how to automatically confirm plus subscription via PayPal auto checkout.
Delays do not matter for this mode
This mode will extract all the orders from your account in the selected region. Order information will be reported into your webhook.
Delays do not matter for this mode

This mode is used to make purchases on raffle wins.
This mode is used to get Zalando Discounts, reading your Email
Bot will read all the discounts on a certain email using IMAP and it will load them into the group based on the selected country, duplicated discounts are automatically removed.

This mode is used to activate gift cards on zalando.
Bot will now add the same gift card to multiple accounts without deleting if unlimited is set in the discount section, if you still want to delete gift cards after one application set one into the discount usage

Stop on discount error: It will stop task if there is issue with discount.
The module is now supporting the "Pickup station" option. It can be useful not only in the case you're not home and you can't receive your packages, but also to split some tasks between your own address and one or more pickup stations in your area.
At the moment not all Countries are supported. The bot will return an error if your choice is not available.
Cash on delivery (COD) is not working in combination with Pickup station option.
Zalando is doing exclusive drop reserved to Plus member only. Plus Membership drops are available on in IT, FR, DE, NL regions.
By enabling the plus option the bot will try to active the zalando plus free monthly trial. You have to confirm submission by using paypal. You can confirm in 2 ways:
Use PayPal webhook: Open each link from the webhook and confirm the plus sign up
Use PayPal auto checkout: Initialize your paypal session and set "webhook" in the "paypal" field ans "ACO" to "Active" in the task group settings, it will confirm plus subscriptions automatically. Be sure tho have a default payment method set in your PayPal account settings.
To active plus, you can use release(exclusive) or release(monitor, exclusive) modes with the "subscribe plus" option enabled, otherwise you can use the Plus Activation mode
When you will paste the product link inside the task a pop up will be opened: There you can decide to paste the link at plus drop time, normal drop time, or both.
PanAIO allows you to test cartability of the accounts in your account group. The tester has to be set up like in the image below:
YOU NEED TO INPUT A PRODUCT DUMMY -please note that with the new Zalando system not all the exclusive item are restricted so you need to make sure that the item that you are testing is restricted to have a valid result
JUST SELECT:
COUNTRY
PROFILE
PROXY
ACCOUNTS
N. TASKS
You don't need to set anything else for account testing.
Once you created your tasks all you have to do is to run them. Cartable accounts will be kept in the account group, non cartable accounts will be removed. Account mode will also store the logged sessions for your accounts.
The retry delay in test mode is used to specify the number of ATC the task has to perform (this will help you testing the accounts since many of them may take a huge number of ATC to cart an item). As you can read a few lines below, the suggested value is 2.
Hint: If you want to keep all the accounts (cartable and non cartable) in any case, export your account group before starting the procedure.
In release and restock mode:
Restock Delay → It is the delay between consecutive chekout request. It is the delay used when the tasks are in the "retrying..:" status.
Cart Delay → It's the time between consecutive ATC requests. It is the delay used when tasks are in the "retying ATC.." status.

As already mentioned, paypal is a good and recommened payment method for drops (not for restocks). To make the paypal checkout process as fast as possible initialize the paypal session before the drop start
To initialize the paypal session you can simply click on the paypal harvester button, it's highly suggested to use paypal ACO for zalando checkout as paypal doesn't reserve products in your cart. (You can active it in the group settings )
It may happen sometime during releases to receive no webhook after a cop. This is a pain because you won't have the paypal link to pay your products.
A possible solution to get the link is to go in the analytics section of the bot, there you will find the paypal link of all your zalando checkouts
To copy the link you just have to click on the cart figure highlighted in yellow in the image below
