# Faire review (2026): is it worth it?

> Wholesale marketplace connecting independent brands and retailers

Checked Nov 12, 2026.

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.

## Pricing

Faire's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## Key features

- **Wholesale marketplace:** Retailers browse products from over 100,000 brands and can filter by values such as women-owned, handmade or not on Amazon.
- **Low order minimums:** The retailer pages advertise thousands of brands with low or no minimums, so a store can try new brands in small quantities.
- **Net 60 payment terms:** Retailers can buy now and pay invoices 60 days later; the page says there are no fees for this.
- **Free first-order returns:** The page says retailers get free returns on every first order with a brand.
- **Languages and regions:** The site is offered in English (US, UK and AU), French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish and Polish.

## 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.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Inventory: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
