Faire: Sell Wholesale

Faire is the best. Works so smooth with Shopify. I've been with Faire when it started and at the time they didn't really have a system. But they kept improving and using new platforms and good devs. I was doing everything manually which took hours to upload but now it's all automatic. I love it. Thanks to the team at Faire!!

Wholesale Prices Higher Than Retail

Faire markets itself as a wholesale platform, but in reality, many of the prices are higher than retail. That alone makes it unusable for any serious seller trying to maintain margins.

On top of that, product quality is inconsistent and often underwhelming for the price. You’re paying “boutique” or even above-retail pricing for items that don’t justify it once they arrive. That defeats the entire purpose of buying wholesale.

Between inflated pricing, weak value, and inconsistent quality across vendors, Faire feels more like a curated resale marketplace than a true wholesale solution. I won’t be using it again and wouldn’t recommend it to sellers who actually understand pricing and margins.

price syncing is inconsistent, images don't sync properly...very frustrating

It is not friendly; we can not do it in bulk. It's tough to search through pages one by one. The view of 20 products per page is not enough.

100% DO NOT RECOMMEND. Our first week on Faire as a Brand, and there was a big hiccup. Syncing with our Shopify catalog was seamless, but turns out it's not 100% accurate. Faire will not back you up as a Brand as they do not compensate for any mistakes that happen on app integrations. The price that they synced on Faire is different from Shopify, and we were selling units to retailers at very low prices. This was quickly bought up to Faire, but they offered no empathy or support, not even waiving commissions on this order.

They only want your money and do not support you as a Brand. I will make sure to let every single brand owner I know to becareful with Faire.

This integration sucks. Syncing doesn't work as expected and there's no way to access settings.

Overall experience has been positive. Issues tend to be on the Faire side with how they utilize AI tools that are not always accurate.

We enjoy selling on Faire and it is a great way to reach new customers!

Great app and easy to set up. Generated two orders in the first 24 hours from approval (which I also appreciate how stringent they are in prequalifying retailers.)

zero stars.
