How to Automate Faire Orders into Cin7 (and Get Your Mornings Back)

You started your brand to make something people love. Not to spend the first hour of every morning copying order details from Faire into Cin7, one line at a time.

But once wholesale picks up, that's where a lot of founders quietly end up. Every Faire order is a few minutes of typing: the retailer, the products, the quantities, the address. A few minutes becomes an hour. An hour becomes "maybe we should hire someone for this."

You probably don't need to hire someone. You need the two tools to talk to each other. Here's how to automate Faire orders into Cin7 so they show up on their own, accurately, every time — and you get your mornings back.

The part of wholesale nobody mentions

Faire is great at getting your products in front of retailers. Cin7 is where your inventory, orders, and fulfillment actually live. The space between them is the manual part.

When a Faire order comes in, someone has to re-enter it in Cin7: match each product to the right SKU, set the quantities, add the retailer's details, and make sure inventory updates. For one order, it's nothing. For forty a week, it's a part-time job — plus the occasional typo that becomes a shipping mix-up.

What "automatic" actually looks like

Picture the same morning, designed differently:

• A retailer places an order on Faire.

• It appears in Cin7 within minutes — right SKUs, right quantities, right customer.

• Inventory adjusts on its own.

• You get a quiet note that it's handled.

No typing. No double-checking. No "did anyone enter Thursday's orders?" The order moves itself, and you only look when you want to.

Three ways to connect Faire and Cin7

1. By hand. Export your Faire orders and re-enter them in Cin7. It's free, and it's fine at five orders a week. At fifty, it costs you real time and the odd costly mistake.

2. A connector tool. Some tools can pass orders between apps. They help, but you own the setup — and they tend to stumble when a SKU doesn't match or an order gets edited, so you're back to checking by hand.

3. Done for you. A designed automation, mapped to your exact catalog, that moves every Faire order into Cin7 in the background. You set it up once and stop thinking about it.

A few things to get right

Whichever route you take, the details matter:

• SKU mapping. Your Faire product names and Cin7 SKUs have to line up, or orders land messy.

• Inventory timing. Decide when stock should adjust — at order, or at fulfillment.

• Edited and partial orders. Plan for the order that changes after it's placed.

• New products. Make sure a brand-new SKU flows through without a manual fix.

The version where you never touch it

This is the one we set up for brands. Pare's Faire → Cin7 order sync maps your catalog, connects the two tools, and the orders simply appear in Cin7 — accurate, every time. You approve it once, then it runs quietly in the background while you get back to the work you actually started this for.

For the skincare brand Sidia, it's run with 100% line-item accuracy across every audited order — Faire, Cin7, and QuickBooks reconciling to the penny — and a two-week order backlog that used to mean hours of catch-up cleared in three minutes.

FAQ

Can Faire orders sync to Cin7 automatically? Yes. Once the two are connected and your SKUs are mapped, each Faire order can appear in Cin7 on its own, with no manual entry.

Will it update my inventory? It can. You decide whether stock adjusts when the order is placed or when it ships, and the automation keeps Cin7 in step.

What if a SKU doesn't match? That's the most common snag. A good setup maps your products up front and flags anything new, so a mismatch never becomes a silent error.

If wholesale order entry has quietly become someone's full-time job, that's the first thing worth handing to a system. Book your free automation audit and we'll show you exactly what to connect first.
