Keep Faire, or make your own?

Keep it

Faire is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.

What you could make

  • Inventory: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.

What this rests on. Faire’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

What is Faire?

Faire is an online wholesale marketplace where retailers buy from brands, and brands sign up to sell. Its retailer pages describe over 100,000 brands, low or no order minimums, 60 days to pay invoices and free returns on a first order with a brand. Brand-side fees could not be read, so no pricing is recorded.

Good for

  • Independent retailers looking for new wholesale brands
  • Boutiques and grocers that want low order minimums

Worth knowing

  • The brand-side pricing and fee pages are behind a bot check, so what a brand pays to sell is not recorded here.
  • Faire is a marketplace for wholesale buying and selling, not a store builder for your own site.
  • Wholesale prices are shown only after signing up as a retailer.
