Frequently asked questions
Is the app truly free, or will I be paying commissions on every sale?
The app itself is free to install with no monthly subscription fee. However, Faire charges a 15% commission on reorders from retailers who discover you through the marketplace, plus a one-time $10 new customer fee on a retailer's first order. Orders you bring to Faire yourself via your personal Faire Direct link carry 0% commission — you only pay a payment processing fee (1.9%–3.5% + $0.30 per transaction depending on payout speed).
How does inventory and order syncing actually work — will I get oversold?
The app syncs your Shopify catalog, inventory levels, and orders in real-time between Shopify and Faire. Inventory updates flow from Shopify to Faire to prevent overselling, and orders placed on Faire are synced back to Shopify for fulfillment. Some merchants have reported occasional price sync discrepancies, so it's worth double-checking your pricing settings after setup.
How long does setup take — can I do it myself without a developer?
Setup is designed to be quick and self-serve. You connect via the Integrations tab in your Faire account, enter your Shopify store URL, and the app automatically attempts to link all products between the two platforms. You then configure pricing rules (wholesale vs. retail percentage), case sizes, and whether products publish immediately or as drafts — no developer needed.
Does it work for international and multi-currency stores?
Yes. Faire connects brands with independent retailers in the US, Canada, Europe, and more, and the app supports local currency and multi-currency features. The app's interface is available in English, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Swedish.
What do other merchants say — is the app reliable and is support responsive?
The app holds a 4.5-star rating across 374 reviews on the Shopify App Store, with 81% being 5-star ratings. Merchants praise seamless Shopify integration, automatic syncing, and expanded reach to new retailers. Critical reviews flag occasional price sync errors and report that Faire's support can be slow to offer compensation when integration mistakes occur.
Will this cannibalize my direct wholesale relationships or force me into Faire's ecosystem?
No — the app is designed to work alongside your existing selling strategies, not replace them. You can invite your existing wholesale customers through your Faire Direct link (earning 0% commission on their orders) while also gaining exposure to new retailers through Faire's marketplace. Your Faire wholesale shop can also be added as a widget or menu link directly on your Shopify website.
Are there any risks around pricing control — could Faire change my prices automatically?
There is a known risk: the app can sync prices from Shopify to Faire automatically, and some merchants have reported unintended price changes even when they believed price sync was disabled. Additionally, Faire enforces pricing consistency policies — your wholesale prices on Faire must match your wholesale prices elsewhere, and Faire conducts audits to enforce this. It's strongly recommended to review all pricing settings carefully after installation and monitor your Faire listings after any Shopify price changes.
