Faire
Faire is a platform for wholesale marketplace ordering and retail inventory sourcing.
Key features include:
- Wholesale product sourcing
- Retailer and supplier marketplace
- Order management tools
- CSV order import functionality
Faire integrates with ShopWired by using exported ShopWired order CSV files so you can manually prepare and upload order batches to Faire for processing.

Providing a CSV order file to Faire
Faire accepts order data using CSV files where supported.
To export orders from ShopWired:
- Navigate to Orders > View orders
- Select the orders you want to export
- Select the
exportoption - Download the order CSV file
The ShopWired export contains the order and delivery address data required for a CSV import, but the column names and structure must be changed before the file is uploaded to Faire.
The required CSV structure, column names, and accepted values are defined by Faire within your account. Mapping is required because ShopWired and Faire use different CSV formats.
Recommendations
