Faire Sync puts your OpoShop catalogue on Faire, the marketplace where independent retailers buy from brands. It never works out a wholesale price for you. You set the terms, you see exactly what lands in your pocket, and nothing goes live until you say so.
Free to install. Already have it? Open it from your OpoShop admin.
Faire Sync is in preview. Connecting a Faire brand opens once Faire approves the app. Until then you can install it and read how wholesale pricing works, but products cannot be added or sent to Faire yet.
Illustration with example figures. Faire Sync never assumes a commission rate. It uses the one you enter, and leaves the line blank until you do.
The whole loop, end to end
Faire is a trademark of Faire Wholesale, Inc. Faire Sync is an independent application that connects to Faire through its public API, and is not endorsed or certified by Faire.
The thing that makes this different
On Faire, independent shops buy from you at wholesale and resell to their customers at retail. Those are two different numbers, and no formula turns one into the other.
Push your OpoShop price into Faire's wholesale field and you list at roughly double the market rate and never sell a case. Halve it because "wholesale is about half of retail" and you sell real stock at a real loss on every order, quietly, for as long as the app runs. The second one is worse, so Faire Sync refuses to do either.
The publish button does not appear until this is fixed.
What it does
Six things Faire Sync handles, and a long list of things it deliberately refuses to decide for you.
Wholesale price and suggested retail per option, plus an order minimum, a case pack and a lead time for the product. None of it is copied from your storefront, and none of it is filled in with a default.
What a shop pays, what commission takes, what lands with you, and your profit per unit if you tell us what the product costs to make. Any figure we don't have an input for stays blank, never a confident guess.
Wholesale at or above your suggested retail, wholesale above what you charge your own shoppers, a price below your cost, or a take-home of zero after commission, each one stops the publish outright.
Publishing takes a single product and an explicit confirmation. There is no "publish all", no select-all, and no background job that lists something you didn't look at.
A stock read that fails is skipped, not treated as sold out. A variant you don't track stock on has its quantity left out of the update entirely, rather than being sent a number nobody entered. And if a catalogue read comes back empty or short, the whole sweep stops before it writes anything.
A Faire order becomes an OpoShop order with the shipping address intact, and your tracking number goes back to Faire. Each step is claimed before the call is made, so a restart mid-sweep can't duplicate an order or re-notify a buyer.
How it works
Setup takes a few minutes. Deciding your wholesale terms takes as long as it takes. That is your pricing, not ours.
Install from the OpoShop App Store and it picks up your store automatically. Then connect your Faire account in a popup, and tell us the commission rate Faire charges you so the take-home column can do its job.
For each one: whose brand it is, the wholesale price and suggested retail for every option, how a shop has to buy it, and how long you need to ship. Your catalogue stays exactly as it is. This is a separate layer on top.
You see the full margin breakdown, any advisories worth reading, and any blockers that have to be fixed. Confirm, and that single listing goes live. From then on stock stays in step and orders come home.

Orders
Faire doesn't notify apps when something sells, so Faire Sync checks for new and updated orders on a schedule and brings them in. A Faire order becomes a real OpoShop order: the same picking, packing and stock deduction as the rest of your day.
Safeguards
Faire has one environment and it is the live one. There is no sandbox to rehearse in, so the first price this app ever sends is a real price a real shop can buy at. That shapes every decision in it.
Illustration. The two minimum styles are mutually exclusive, so the app only ever shows you one of them at a time.
Straight answers
Faire Sync is new, and nobody's catalogue has been listed through it yet. Instead of inventing quotes, here is the app's own language: the exact sentences it shows a merchant when it refuses to publish something.
"The wholesale price ($46.00) is the same as or higher than the suggested retail price ($42.00). A shop buying at $46.00 cannot sell at $42.00 and make anything, so nobody will order it."
Shown when a retail price is pasted into the wholesale field, the single most likely mistake on that screen.
"The wholesale price ($6.40) is below what the product costs you to make ($7.20). You would lose $0.80 on every unit before Faire's commission."
Only possible because you can tell the app your unit cost. If you'd rather not, that line simply stays blank instead of being estimated.
"Enter the wholesale price yourself. Faire Sync never works one out for you."
A price that arrived from anywhere other than a person typing it is refused at the last moment before the request is built.
Pricing
Faire Sync is published by Found and installs free from the OpoShop App Store. There is no trial, no tier and no upgrade prompt.
Whatever Faire charges you as a seller is between you and Faire. Faire Sync does not set, collect, estimate or take a share of it. It reads back the commission and payout figures Faire reports on your own orders, and asks you to confirm your rate rather than assuming one.
FAQ
No, and that is the whole point. There is no percentage, no default and no "start from your shop price" button anywhere in the app. You type every wholesale price and every suggested retail price yourself.
Most brands land somewhere near half of their suggested retail, enough margin that a shop wants to stock them. We'll tell you that. We will not do it to your catalogue.
Nothing. Faire Sync only reads your storefront prices, and only for two reasons: to show them next to your wholesale price for comparison, and to catch the case where a wholesale price ends up higher than what you charge your own shoppers. It never writes a price back to your store.
No. Publishing takes one product and an explicit confirmation, and there is no bulk variant of it anywhere, not in the interface, not in the API, not in the agent tools.
Wholesale terms are a per-product decision with real money attached, and a "publish everything" button is how a whole catalogue goes out at the wrong price in one click.
Then nothing is written for the products it couldn't read. An unreadable quantity is skipped, because "we don't know" and "there are none left" are different facts. And a variant you don't track stock on has no quantity sent at all. Inventing a number for it would be a case quantity nobody ever entered.
If the catalogue read itself comes back empty or obviously short, the entire sync run aborts before its first write. That is the failure that would otherwise mark everything you sell as sold out at once.
Because you tell it. Faire Sync asks for the commission rate that applies to you and uses that. It does not assume a rate. A confidently wrong take-home figure on the screen where you decide your pricing is worse than an honest blank, so until you enter it, the take-home line simply shows a dash.
Once real orders start arriving, Faire reports the commission and payout it actually applied to each one. Faire Sync reads those figures back and shows them to you rather than recalculating anything.
Yes. Faire Sync connects to a Faire brand account you already have. It can't create one for you, and it can't get you approved. If you're not on Faire yet, get set up there first, then come back and connect.
No. Faire is a trademark of Faire Wholesale, Inc. Faire Sync is an independent application that connects to Faire through its public API, and is not endorsed or certified by Faire.
It's built and supported by Found, an independent studio that builds apps for OpoShop merchants.
Your store's products, the wholesale terms you enter, and the Faire orders it imports, stored in Faire Sync's own database, scoped to your store and nobody else's. No card numbers ever pass through it, and nothing is sold or shared with advertisers. The details are in the privacy policy.
Install Faire Sync from the OpoShop App Store, set your wholesale terms once, and see exactly what lands in your pocket before a single listing goes live.
