The strong performance of Zalando's partner business as well as successful sales events also supported growth in the second quarter . Over the past twelve months , more than 10 million active customers joined the Zalando platform , resulting in 44.5 million active customers at the end of the second quarter . Customers engaged with Zalando more frequently , with average orders per active customer reaching a new all - time high of 5.0 . Customers acquired during the first lockdown period in 2020 continued to remain very active , also as pandemic induced restrictions have been gradually lifted and stores reopened throughout the quarter .
