Understanding Faire Fees
Marketplace Orders (15% Commission)
When customers discover and order your products through Faire's marketplace, you pay a 15% commission on the order value. New customers also incur a one-time $10 fee.
Direct Orders (0% Commission)
Orders from your existing customers who order directly through your Faire storefront have no commission fees - you only pay payment processing.
Payment Processing
All orders include payment processing fees that vary by payout speed: Next Day (3.5%), 30-Day (2.4%), or 60-Day (1.9%) plus $0.30 per transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Marketplace and Direct orders on Faire?
Marketplace orders come from new customers discovering your products through Faire's marketplace and incur a 15% commission plus a $10 new customer fee. Direct orders are from existing customers ordering directly from your Faire storefront with no commission fees.
How do Faire's payout speeds affect my fees?
Faire offers three payout speeds with different processing rates: Next Day (3.5% + $0.30), 30-Day (2.4% + $0.30), and 60-Day (1.9% + $0.30). Choosing longer payout terms can significantly reduce your processing costs.
Are shipping costs included in Faire fees?
If you choose self-fulfilled shipping, Faire reimburses you for shipping costs, so they don't add to your fees. If you use Faire's shipping service, they handle shipping separately from commission and processing fees.
How accurate is this fee calculator?
