Faire is a B2B wholesale marketplace that connects independent brands with retailers. It provides access to over 100,000 brands across categories such as home, apparel, jewelry, wellness, food, pets, kids, and books, making it especially valuable for small and emerging businesses.

Billing and pricing

Wholesale buying on Faire is free with the basic service, with no signup fees, monthly subscriptions, or per-order charges.

Retailers can optionally subscribe to the Faire Insider program to eliminate shipping costs for a monthly fee. This membership includes free shipping on thousands of partnered brands, as well as early access to new brand arrivals and virtual trade shows.

For retailers placing at least two orders per month, the subscription typically pays for itself through shipping savings alone.

Key features and benefits

The Lightspeed and Faire integration simplifies wholesale purchasing and product setup:

• Automated data flow: Sync order and product data between Faire and Lightspeed to reduce manual entry and errors.
• Faster “box-to-floor” time: Import product details, images, and SKUs instantly so items are ready to sell as soon as they arrive.
• Streamlined buying workflow: The connected ecosystem simplifies your busiest seasons by reducing tool-switching and administrative cleanup.

Tip: Use Faire alongside Lightspeed Wholesale (NuORDER) to expand your wholesale sourcing options within Lightspeed.

Product sync rules

When products are available for sync, the following key catalog information from Faire is automatically brought into Lightspeed:

• Product name and description
• Vendor
• SKU and GTIN
• Retail and wholesale prices
• Product categories, tags, and images
• Tax settings
• Product images
• Item weight (and unit)

Inventory quantities are not automatically updated from Faire. This is intentional, as Faire’s delivery-based inventory updates may not always be reliable.

Inventory is updated only after:

• The order is Marked as received in Faire, and
• You click Sync to Lightspeed.

New products are then created with full details, or existing products updated, and inventory quantities are applied.
