Absolutely! If you know of any brands that you’d like to shop on our platform, you can refer them through our referral program—if they join Faire, you may be eligible for a referral bonus.

How do I submit a referral?

To submit a brand referral, go to your Refer Brands page and enter the brand’s email address or website. After you submit the referral, the brand will get an invitation email with your referral link.

How do I track my referrals?

After your first referral is submitted, you’ll see a section on the page where you can track all of your pending referrals. Referred brands will be organized into the Invited, Needs Info, Expiring Soon, Joined, and Waitlisted tabs.

• Invited: If a brand you referred appears under this tab, that means we are waiting for the brand to apply to sell on Faire.
• Needs info: Any referrals that appear in this tab have not been invited to join Faire yet, because we are missing some information. You can update the missing information for these brands right from this page (for example, add a new valid email address or website).
• Expiring soon: Upon referring a brand, all brands will have 12 months to activate their shop on Faire before their referral invitation expires. Any referrals expiring within the next 90 days will appear under this tab. If a referral should expire, you are always able to refer them again.
• Joined: Any referrals who join Faire and activate their shop will appear under this tab. You’re welcome to start shopping with any of these brands!
• Waitlisted: Brands you refer who aren’t in our core markets or territories are added to our waitlist. We look forward to reviewing their applications as we grow.

How do I share my referral link?

After submitting your first referral, you’ll be able to view your custom referral link for your account. With your referral link, you'll be able to start sharing it with any brands that you'd like to invite to join Faire. This is the same link that is embedded in the referral email that we send after each submission.

To ensure you can earn credit for your brand referrals, please submit all referrals through your Faire portal first before sending your referral link to your contacts. Word-of-mouth referrals alone are not eligible for Faire-funded credit.

What happens when a brand I referred joins Faire?

When a brand you've referred joins Faire and activates their shop, you'll see their status update under the Joined tab on your Referrals page.

If they used your referral link to sign up, you'll be eligible to receive Faire-funded credit as a reward - For each order the brand receives and accepts in their first 30 days after activating their shop, you can receive a Faire credit in your account. Please note, if you place an order with the brand you referred, the order subtotal must be equal to or greater than the credit amount in order to receive the credit reward.

See the Refer Brands page in your Faire portal for more details on how much credit you are eligible to earn!

Will I receive credit on every brand I refer?

Referral credit will only be paid to the person whose referral link is used. If multiple retailers or brands refer a brand, the brand can choose which referral link to sign up with. Referral credits will only be eligible for brands that have yet to apply to join Faire.

How do I use the credit from my referral?

Once you’ve received your Faire credit, the credit amount will become available for you to use on your next order. You can use this credit with any brand on Faire! If you don’t use all of the credit you have in one order, the remaining amount will roll over towards your next purchase.

You can see the total Faire credit you’ve earned from all of your referrals by visiting your Refer Brands page.

What are best practices for referring brands to Faire?

In addition to crafting personalized, quality content, consider the audience you are reaching out to, and make sure that the communications you’re sending are not unwanted or unwarranted. Here are some helpful guidelines to follow:

• You should only send referral emails to business colleagues, friends, or acquaintances from whom you have consent to contact. Review contact information before uploading contacts to Faire and sending emails, to ensure they meet this criteria.
• Make sure that the communication you send is relevant to them (they are a brand, they are still in business, you have an existing business relationship with them or have interacted with them before, or–in the case of new relationships–you don’t have any reason to believe they wouldn’t want to hear from you).
• Compare the list you are providing to Faire against your own external “unsubscribe” list (make sure contacts you are reaching out to through Faire haven't already asked you not to contact them).
• Purge any irrelevant data (or unsubscribed email addresses) from the list before uploading it into your portal.

When will my referrals expire?

Upon referring a brand, all brands will have 12 months to activate their shop on Faire before their referral invitation expires. Any referrals expiring within the next 90 days will appear under your Expiring soon tab on your Refer Brands page. If a referral should expire, you are always able to refer them again.
