How Faire’s Commission Works

Faire is a wholesale marketplace. Brands list products, retailers browse and order, Faire takes a cut of every transaction. The commission rate depends on who found whom.

Orders from buyers who discover you through Faire’s marketplace cost 25%. Orders from buyers you refer to Faire yourself cost 15%. Both rates apply to the full order total, including shipping charges.

The Math on $500K in Wholesale Revenue

That gap is not a rounding error. On a half-million in wholesale, you are choosing between $75,000-$125,000 in Faire commissions or from $2,388 for OrderDock.

The Payment Float Problem

Faire pays brands on net-60 from delivery. Your buyer places a purchase order, you ship it, the buyer receives it, then you wait 60 days for Faire to release your money.

A manufacturer carrying raw material costs and production overhead feels that cash flow delay. You finance both production and Faire’s float.

Faire offers early payment, but charges additional fees that eat into your margin.

You Lose the Buyer Relationship

This cost does not show up in commission calculations. When your wholesale buyers order through Faire, Faire owns the transaction data, the reorder history, and the communication channel.

If you decide to leave Faire, you do not take your buyer list with you. Those accounts are Faire accounts. You have to re-establish every ordering relationship outside the platform.

Manufacturers and distributors who spent years building wholesale accounts hand that relationship to a middleman. That risk compounds with every order processed through Faire.

Forced Discounting

Faire runs promotions that brands cannot opt out of. Opening order discounts, free shipping thresholds, seasonal campaigns, and featured placement fees reduce your effective margin below the headline commission rate.

When Faire offers a retailer 15% off their first order from your brand, that discount comes out of your pocket on top of the 25% commission.

OrderDock: From $20/Month, You Keep Every Dollar

OrderDock is a wholesale ordering portal where your buyers log in, place purchase orders, and reorder on their terms. You set the pricing. You manage net terms. You own the buyer relationship and every data point that comes with it.

From $20/month flat. No commissions. No percentage of revenue. No payment float. A brand doing $500K in wholesale keeps an extra $72,612-$122,612 annually compared to Faire.
