Faire is an online wholesale marketplace where retailers can discover and buy new products that help their store stand out. With Faire, it's easy and low-risk to stock inventory from brands around the world. Retailers can automatically sync the products they order on Faire to Shopify, so they can reduce time spent on manual data entry and focus on running a thriving retail business.
Is this app free, or will I be charged once I start ordering?
The Faire: Buy Wholesale app itself is completely free to install and use — there is no subscription fee. However, keep in mind this app is for purchasing inventory (not dropshipping), so you will pay for the wholesale products you order directly through Faire's marketplace.
Will my Faire orders and inventory automatically sync to my Shopify store?
Yes. The app automatically syncs the products you order on Faire directly into your Shopify store, eliminating manual data entry. Orders and inventory counts update in Shopify, though some merchants note that product description formatting may not always transfer perfectly and can require minor cleanup depending on your theme.
Does Faire: Buy Wholesale support dropshipping?
No — Faire explicitly does not support dropshipping. The app is designed for retailers who purchase wholesale inventory upfront from independent brands and stock it themselves. If you need a dropshipping solution, you'll need a different app.
Can I get flexible payment terms, and what's the return policy on opening orders?
Eligible retailers can receive 60-day payment terms on orders placed through Faire, making it lower-risk to try new inventory. Faire also offers free returns on all opening orders from new brands, so you can test new suppliers without financial risk.
How long does setup take — can I do it without a developer?
Setup is designed to be self-serve and merchant-friendly — you install the app, connect your Faire account, and the integration automatically attempts to link your products. Most merchants describe the interface as user-friendly and straightforward. Note that after setup, Faire's team reviews your shop over 2–3 business days before it goes live.
What do other merchants say about the app and its support team?
The app holds a 4.9/5 rating across nearly 1,000 reviews, with 90% being 5 stars. Merchants praise it for saving time on inventory management and its easy reordering features. A small number of 1-star reviews cite installation bugs and support not resolving technical issues quickly, so complex setup problems may require patience.
Does this app work for stores outside the US, or in multiple languages?
Yes — Faire connects retailers and brands worldwide, and the app supports nine languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, and Portuguese. However, note that CAD is not supported as a storefront currency on Faire, and price syncing only works for USD, EUR, GBP, and AUD.
