COLUMBUS — An online retailer is opening a call center in central Ohio and bringing about 900 new jobs.

Seattle-based Zulily — offering daily deals for women, children, and infants — will have a temporary office in suburban Columbus while it looks for a permanent facility.

The hiring will be done over the next three years.

The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a 75 percent, 12-year income-tax credit that will save the company about $6.2 million assuming it meets its hiring obligations.
